Egg processingThere are only 52 companies processing eggs in Italy and these are integrated with the productionand packing base. Many companies own several processing plants, so the industry is fairlyconcentrated. The Italian processing sector is large and utilises 46% of commercial egg production(37% of total production, i.e. including backyard flocks), in addition to annual imports of around 103million eggs. Processed eggs are overwhelmingly destined for the food manufacturing sector,particularly pasta. Major global food companies served by the Italian processing sector includeBarilla, Ferrero, Unilever, Nestlé, Plasmon and Bauli.A1.9.3.1. Main egg processorsThe Italian egg sector is fully integrated and the main egg processors are therefore the same as thelarge packers listed in Section A1.9.2.1.A1.9.3.2. Processor concentrationThe top eight processors are the same as the packers presented in Section A1.9.2.2 (although one ofthese companies, Fattorie Guglielmi, does not process eggs and has been omitted). The processingsector is more concentrated than the egg packing sector with a 4-firm concentration ratio of 61%(compared to 50%). The 8-firm concentration ratio is higher than the 66% in the packing sector,although data are only available for the top 7 firms and this shows a 68% concentration ratio.Table A1.65: Main egg processors in Italy (output in shell egg equivalents)Rank Company Processed output1 Eurovo 1,500,000,0002 Azienda Agricola Parmovo 1,000,000,000 (estimate)3 Aia 400,000,0004 Uovador 250,000,0005 Cascina Italia 126,000,0006 La Fattoria Novelli 120,000,000 (estimate)7 Agroalimentare F.Lli Monaldi 75,000,000Source: Industry estimates.Total processed production 5,134,000,000227
