Not in shell eggs and egg yolks market in Pakistan

Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, production of not in shell eggs and egg yolks in Pakistan increased from 37 933 t to 50 158 t, while the market volume grew from 38 580 t to 49 553 t. This expansion was supported by a steady annual rise in egg consumption of about 0.9% since 2017, alongside a broader growth trajectory in the poultry industry, which provided a solid base for increased output.

In the latter part of the period, government interventions like subsidies on poultry feed helped contain production costs and maintain stability. The sector also saw new investments, such as Premium Farms' plan to establish a state-of-the-art egg processing plant by end-2025, targeting export-quality egg powder. This move reflects a growing focus on processed egg products, driven by demand from the food industry. At the same time, Pakistan's egg exports reached record levels, indicating enhanced international trade activity.
