Egg marketsA1.7.4.1. Primary demandTotal human consumption of eggs in Greece was around 129 million tonnes in 2003. It is estimatedthat a large part of the demand is serviced through the retail sector (up to 95%) and only a very smallshare is sold for processing and for the catering sector. The usage of eggs differs between companiesand figures for the whole industry are not available. For example, Megafarm and Golden Eggsindicated that 30% of their production is sold to the retail sector, an equivalent proportion to thecatering sector with the remainder sold to wholesalers or for export. However, Blahaki Eggs sell amajor part of their production to the retail sector and only some 2% goes to the catering andprocessing sectors.Egg produced in alternative systems (free range, barn eggs and organic) are exclusively sold to theretail sector. Free range eggs are sold with a price premium of around 50% to 60% over eggs fromcaged hens. The premium for barn eggs is between 30% and 40% over eggs from caged hens.Processed eggs are mainly destined for the catering, bakery and food industry markets.201
