Peter,
The Emu farming racket has popped up on every Continent bar Antarctica
and has invariably failed everywhere it was spruiked, leaving a trail
of financially ruined people in its wake, except for those who sold
the birds and eggs to the poor suckers (sorry, I meant investors) who
put up their hard earned with stars in their eyes. While living in
France in the early Noughties, we were approached with an "investment
opportunity" raising Emus in the Department of Puy de Dôme, not a
particularly good habitat for Emus - very serious snow.
I remember reading a few years back, that Emus had become a road
hazard in Texas, because disgruntled Emu punters had herded their
stock out the gate onto State land, from where they roamed free and
caused all manner of havoc, see

Carl Clifford

Emus are commercially bred in many places in Australia and people can
obtain eggs from those places.
Whether or not they can export them I don't know.
