On June 22, 2021, Korea announced an additional 36,000 MT temporary tariff rate quota (TRQ) for eggs and egg products in effect until December 31, 2021. The additional TRQ will help maintain increased levels of egg imports to stabilize egg prices in the Korean market. Strong demand for imports of U.S. eggs into Korea is likely to continue through at least August 2021.
