Food, Grocery | Now there are Danish eggs in the shops

(The Nation): Are you tired of being greeted by empty egg shelves in the grocery store? Now there is a greater chance that you will be able to make scrambled eggs by 17 May.

In recent days, Danish eggs have appeared in many grocery stores.

On Friday morning, there were 10-packs of “Hverdagsæg” from Danish Danæg on the shelves at Meny Bjølsen in Oslo.

Rema 1000 also imports eggs from Denmark to ensure enough eggs in its stores.

Ever since May last year, there has been a shortage of eggs in Norway. Especially around Easter, many had to do without scrambled eggs and waffles.

So far this year, we have had a thousand tonnes of eggs too short in the country. A shortage of eggs is expected until August.

This week, the Norwegian Directorate of Agriculture removed the duty on eggs to increase imports. From 14 May to 24 July there is zero duty on eggs and egg mass.

Nortura Totalmarked believes the deficit of Norwegian eggs will be almost 3,000 tonnes in 2024. This corresponds to 46 million eggs, or over 7.6 million egg cartons containing six eggs.
