Earlier Report Observations

The dried eggs market in Zimbabwe contracted from 163 т in 2018 to 143 т in 2021, a period marked by challenges in the broader egg sector. In 2018, a 57% wholesale price increase for table eggs reflected tight supply, compounded by a recommended ban on egg imports due to avian flu threats in the region, which constrained raw material availability. By 2021, the gradual recovery of layer flocks after initial avian flu impacts helped stabilize market volume around 143 т.

A sharp turnaround occurred in 2022, with production surging 44% to 206 т, followed by a further rise to 210 т in 2023. This expansion was supported by the ongoing recovery of layer hen populations and growing consumer preference for high-protein, convenient foods, which bolstered demand for dried egg products. Investment in automated production systems and the activity of major players like Irvine’s Chickens, aiming to boost local output and regional exports, provided additional momentum to the market's growth.
