This industry plays a vital role in the global food supply chain, providing a rich source of protein and other essential nutrients. The production and trade of these specialized eggs are particularly important for the 040700 Poultry eggs, in shell, fresh, preserved or cooked industry, as well as for the 010100 Live horses, asses, mules and hinnies and 010600 Other live animals sectors, which rely on these eggs for breeding and rearing purposes.

Production process

The production of eggs covered under HS code 040719 involves the careful management of breeding flocks of various bird species, such as ducks, geese, and quails. Farmers closely monitor the birds' health, nutrition, and environmental conditions to ensure the production of high-quality, fertile eggs. The eggs are collected, cleaned, and packaged for distribution to domestic and international markets, often with strict temperature and humidity controls to maintain freshness and viability.
