Earlier Report Observations
The liquid eggs market in Lebanon contracted from 1 749 t in 2018 to 1 530 t in 2019, driven by price increases due to inflation and monopolistic practices, as well as dumping of Ukrainian eggs that pressured local producers. In 2020, the market stabilized around 1 513 t as the COVID-19 pandemic caused a sharp price drop and shifted consumer preferences toward processed products like liquid eggs, supporting production despite reduced imports.
Post-pandemic demand recovery and growing consumer interest in organic and local eggs pushed market volume up by 29% to 1 960 t in 2021. However, ongoing inflation and the economic crisis reduced purchasing power, leading to a contraction to 1 768 t in 2022, while new food safety regulations introduced additional compliance costs. Growth resumed in 2023, reaching 1 944 t, fueled by investments from local companies in production modernization and packaging improvements to enhance product safety.
