BBC As egg prices rise, so do seizures at US border 20 Jan 2023　By Bernd Debusmann Jr

　摘発率はさっくり108％あがったとか。

「Seizures at border posts have spiked by more than 100%.

US egg prices were up 60% in December compared to the previous year. Between 1 October and 31 December alone, egg and poultry seizures rose 108%, according to Department of Agriculture statistics.」

1カートン3ドルだったのが8ドルとか。そりゃあダメだ。きっつい。

「For some local residents, attempts to purchase eggs in Mexico come as no surprise. A local affiliate of the BBC's US partner CBS reported that a carton of a dozen eggs costs nearly $8 at some mini-markets in border communities, compared to less than $3 across the border in Tijuana, Mexico.」

　テキサスで6ドル、しかしメキシコまで出向けば$3.40に過ぎない。

「Border Report, a website which focuses on the US-Mexico border, reported a similar trend along the border between El Paso, Texas - where eggs often cost about $6 - and Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, where a carton of eggs costs approximately $3.40.」

「The US government's consumer price index shows that - nationally - the price of a dozen large eggs stood at $1.93 in January of 2022, compared to $4.25 by December.」

　米国では2022年1月の標準$1.93から12月には$4.25にもなったそうで、2倍はきっついですわね。
