Eggs

Egg_ThumbnailThe NSW egg industry produces 67 million dozen eggs worth $104 million at the farm gate, which represents 35% of Australian production. The industry is spread across NSW with some concentration in Sydney due to historical production.

The Egg Producers Committee has six members representing independent and contract growers from across NSW. They work closely with the national body Australian Egg Corporation Limited on issues with an increasing national significance. Historically, the welfare of hens in cage production systems has dominated priorities. More recently, the Committee has been facilitating the development and implementation of quality assurance for a range of production aspects.

Priority Issues

The Egg Committee priorities are:

  1. Egg labelling
  2. NSW Prevention of Cruelty to Animals cage regulations
  3. Animal welfare
