About birds' eggs, in shell; fresh, preserved or cooked

HS code 0407 covers the trade of birds' eggs in their shell, whether fresh, preserved, or cooked. This industry plays a vital role in the global food supply chain, providing a rich source of protein and other essential nutrients. As a versatile and widely consumed commodity, the trade of birds' eggs is an important component of the broader agricultural and food processing sectors.

Production process

The production of birds' eggs involves the rearing and management of various poultry species, such as chickens, ducks, and geese. Farmers employ a range of techniques to ensure the health and well-being of their flocks, including proper housing, feeding, and disease control measures. Eggs are typically collected daily and may undergo light processing, such as cleaning and grading, before being packaged and distributed to domestic and international markets.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the birds' egg industry include fertile eggs or chicks, feed (such as grains, proteins, and supplements), water, and specialized equipment like incubators, feeders, and housing structures. Farmers also rely on veterinary services and medications to maintain the health of their flocks. Additionally, the industry requires transportation, storage, and packaging materials to facilitate the distribution of the final products.
