Rollins said that the final part of the plan is to consider temporary import options in order to lower egg costs in the short term.
She stated that this will take place only "if the eggs meet stringent U.S. safety standards and if we determine that doing so won't jeopardize American farmers' access to markets in the future."
Rollins said the Agriculture Department is confident that this overall plan "will restore stability to the egg market over the next three to six months," as well as ensure stability over the next four years and beyond.
