This updated report from Access Asia on the development of the market for eggs in China deals largely with ongoing developments in the sector as it exists in the PRC.Eggs are a major component of the average Chinese citizen’s diet.
They are eaten individually, used as ingredients and additives and eaten across all ranges and regions of the country.
Following agricultural liberalisation farmers have begun to both establish battery farming operations as well as small holdings that have combined to boost egg production in China to over 40% of the world’s total.
The increased interest in food groups that utilise eggs for manufacture such as dairy, pre-packaged foods and bakery have all boosted egg usage and consumption.
