UK: Tesco and Aldi have multi-million pound support packages for farmers to tackle egg shortage.

The video discusses the egg shortage in UK supermarkets, driven by rising costs for farmers, including feed, packaging, and energy. Farmers are not receiving adequate compensation, leading to closures. Supermarkets are restricting egg purchases and have pledged financial support to the industry. The avian flu outbreak exacerbates the issue, but the primary concern remains the low payments to farmers. Without addressing these challenges, the UK may face broader food shortages.

What are the potential long-term consequences if the issues in the egg industry are not addressed?
