# Korea to Import 20 Million More Eggs to Curb Prices - Seoul Economic Daily

> South Korea's Ministry of Agriculture will import an additional 20 million fresh eggs from the US and Thailand in June and July. The move responds to a KREI forecast that June egg output will fall 3.6% year over year amid a highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreak. The government also expanded its discount for 30-egg packs and will import 9 million broiler hatching eggs.
