Eggs are one of the most widely consumed foods worldwide today. This product is characterized by its high nutritional value, low cost, ease of preparation, and well-organized logistics. To achieve this, the poultry industry has made a major effort to build a technified production and distribution chain.

The success of today’s poultry industry

Countries such as Mexico, China, India, and the United States are characterized by being large consumers of eggs, while at the same time being the most populated countries. This results in the maximum demand for eggs every year. The culinary culture of these countries and others, such as Japan and Colombia, include different egg presentations in their dishes, which is why the consumption of this protein continues to gain strength.

Historically, the countries with the highest per capita egg consumption have been China, Mexico, Japan, the Netherlands, Ukraine, Malaysia, Luxembourg, Russia, Paraguay, the United States, and Argentina.

Currently, Mexico is one of the largest egg consumers in the world with a per capita consumption of 409 eggs per year. This figure increased significantly since in 2017 in this country consumption was 380 eggs per capita. The laying hen population increased significantly by 3% to 172.2 million birds in 2021. Likewise, in the last five years, the laying hen population has increased by 8.5%.

The Central American country surpasses Japan in egg consumption; the Japanese consume 337 eggs per capita annually. Another country in the region that is an important egg consumer is Colombia, where each inhabitant consumes 334 eggs per year.

This increase in consumption in different countries around the world has been related to improvements in production systems to meet the demand for high-quality, low-cost food.

The poultry egg production industry in 2020 reached a value of USD 1 billion. The main eggs traded in the world are chicken eggs, followed by duck and quail eggs. These products are mainly destined for consumption in households worldwide and restaurants, requiring a good and efficient supply chain.
