America investigates businesses on the pretext of monopolization and raising egg prices

The US Department of Justice has launched a preliminary investigation into the recent rise in egg prices across the country, according to a person familiar with the course of the investigation. The Ministry of Civil Monopathic Team does the investigation, focusing on the possibility of complicity between companies, including ‘Cal-Maine Foods’ and ‘Rose Acre Farms’, to increase prices or reduce the offer, according to the person who asked not to reveal his identity because of the confidentiality of the investigation. The average wholesale price for Derzan from the large eggs in the Middle Western region recorded $ 8.41 from 28 February, which is a standard number and an increase of more than 200% over the previous year, according to the US Department of Agriculture. This increase has negatively affected consumer budgets and became the focus of political controversy between President Donald Trump and his opponents, especially in light of the worst outbreak of bird flu in the history of the United States, which led to the death of more than 130 million birds since 2022. The sharp increase in prices has investigated lawyers and market control lights. A representative of the Ministry of Justice refused to comment on the investigation. Civil investigation can end in monopoly affairs without any charges of violations. The Cal-Main Foods and Rose Aker Pharmes, one of the largest egg producers in the United States, also did not immediately respond to suspension requests. The informed person sharpened the control of the egg market and revealed that the investigation began under the Trump administration and is still in his first stages. Under the administration of former President Joe Biden, according to the person, the Ministry of Justice investigated integrations into the egg market. It also strengthened the number of employees of the anti -monopoly department in Chicago for the purpose of strengthening agricultural markets. ‘Farmaction’, which Washington did at the prices of eggs three years ago, praised the investigation launched by the Trump administration. “There seems to be more than just bird flu,” the organization president Angela Hoffman said during an interview on Friday. The Trump administration on his part, US Democratic Senator Jacques Reed of Rod Island, on Thursday expressed his concern to US Minister of Agriculture Brock Rollins, pointing out that the Trump administration did not make enough efforts to address the problem. In his message to the Minister of Agriculture, Reid wrote: “As Trump held the office, the price of the twelve eggs rose almost twice, and his administration divorced many employees who worked to combat bird flu.” He added: “Although the administration later announced new efforts to re -employ these employees and invest in solutions to the problem, it is necessary to make greater efforts to coordinate an effective response that is already leading to a reduction in prices for Americans.” The Capitol Forum has published a previous report on egg prices investigation.
