Twelve of the world’s top 20 egg producers measured by flock size are in the Americas. While the U.S. is home to six of this 11, it is a Mexican company that ranks second, while Asian companies take positions four and five, according to data compiled for WATT Global Media’s World’s Top Poultry Companies database.
The world continues to produce more eggs and, as in any other market, higher growth rates are often easier to achieve in less developed countries than in mature markets. This is propelling countries from around the world, particularly from faster growing countries where incomes are rising, higher up the rankings.
