Meanwhile in Sweden (lemmy.world)

That's $3 for 15 eggs. Sadly not free-range, only cage-free.

Not sure if this is the best community for this post, does anyone have a better suggestion?

Why does America have a bird flu problem while other countries do not?

Why are eggs so expensive in Sweden, not even fancy organic free range eggs?

this picture raises so many questions
why is it in the middle of a corner, why is the box tilted so weird, why aren't they refrigerated, why are they in 15 packs, why is it ägg, how do you pronounce ägg, what is happening??

It's weird, there is no reason for eggs to be expensive. Eggs are ultra cheap to manufacture. You can do that anywhere and just need some kind of food because they can eat a lot of different things. It doesn't need precious metals or rare earth or patents or import raw materials - any country can just produce chickens and eggs easily.

So egg prices skyrocketing is either a fundamental dysfunction in a countries economy. Or maybe a political move to influence an election.
