On social media like Reddit, there has been a lot of discussion about why the USA is asking Denmark specifically for eggs. Many commenters on Reddit think it doesn't add up that the USA first threatened to take control of Greenland and then asks for a favor to import more eggs from Denmark.

We have examined the prices of eggs worldwide and found that there are "better" countries like Zambia and Bangladesh to ask for eggs from if you only look at the price. Of course, there are other factors such as transportation and quality control of food, etc., but here are the top 10 countries that the USA should ask for eggs from if you only look at the price:

Top 10 countries where eggs are the cheapest

Here are the cheapest countries for 12 medium-sized eggs in USD:

  1. Zambia 1.23 USD
  2. Bangladesh 1.24 USD
  3. Russia 1.27 USD
  4. Egypt 1.52 USD
  5. Pakistan 1.54 USD
  6. India 1.61 USD
  7. Paraguay 1.64 USD
  8. Indonesia 1.65 USD
  9. Kazakhstan 1.70 USD
  10. Dominican Republic 1.83 USD

Note that the price is significantly higher in Denmark at 4.08 USD. Countries that are already helping the USA with eggs include Turkey, which, according to Reuters, has already increased its egg exports to the USA in February.
