Data released by the Brazilian Association of Animal Protein (ABPA) shows that last year per capita consumption of eggs had an 8.7% increase due to the affordability of this animal protein product. Compared to 2019, per capita consumption of eggs grew from 230 to 250 units and the trend is to remain positive for 2021.
For this year, the association expects an increase of 6% in egg consumption in the domestic market as it is pointed to the possibility of reaching 265 eggs per capita. This index is corroborated by the 5% increase in the housing of laying hens in 2020, indicating that there will be enough productive stock to reach the estimate.
The average price for 100 kg of eggs in the Brazilian market is now at €94.84, while the highest price in the world is in the US (€163.10), according to the latest market report from the European Commission.
