• With 380 eggs per person, Argentina now rivals Mexico for the highest per-capita egg consumption globally.
• Investments in technology, new and enlarged farms and more efficient management systems underpin the sector’s recent productivity gains.
• The industry produces over 18 billion eggs annually, employs more than 30,000 people across 18 provinces and generates over US$2.2 billion in revenues with nearly US$50 million in exports.
