Lesson

1 Marketing Eggs

To be successful in egg production, it is not enough to produce eggs at

a high level of efficiency. It is important to establish a marketing scheme
where outlet of your produce is always available especially when layers are
raised commercially.

What’s In
Why should shaking and jarring of eggs be avoided?

Notes to the Teacher

4
 What’s New
What are the sizes of eggs available in the market?

What is It

Marketing involves knowledge on the law of supply and demand. When

the supply is low and the demand is high, and the price is high. To expect

returns, plan the right time of producing more. Do this specially when the

price of the product is high and there is great demand. Always remember

that profit making is the goal of any business venture.

The standard for size set by the Bureau of Product Standards are the
following;

Size Weight of egg

Peewee below 41grams
Small 41-47 grams
Medium 48-54 grams
Large 55-61 grams
Extra large 62-68 grams
Jumbo Above 68 grams

MARKETING EGGS

A greater portion of eggs produced in the farms, backyards and other

sources should be fresh when marketed. This means that the eggs have not

been handled unnecessarily nor have been treated. However, if production is

high and there is less demand for eggs in the market, surplus eggs may be

6
preserved in cold storage for future use. Other egg producers practice other

preservation methods like the use of lime water and immersion of eggs in

boiling water for a short period.

To be successful in egg production, it is not enough to produce eggs at

a high level of efficiency. It is important to establish a marketing scheme

where outlet of your produce is always available especially when layers are

raised commercially. Where chickens are raised in small number, eggs

produced may be used for home consumption or sold directly to consumers.

Whether eggs are produced in large or small quantities, a method

should be adopted to ensure the availability of fresh eggs to the consumers.
