APPENDIX 1: MEMBER STATE REPORTSBox A1.23: Profile of OVOPOLOVOPOL The largest processor of eggs in Poland, accounting for 75% of Polish processed egg productionEmployment 155 staffOwnership Formerly state owned, now limited companyMain markets Domestic 50% to 60%,Exports mainly to the EU.Other exports to Argentina, Australia, China, Japan, CEFTA countries and othersMain product Powdered eggs, plain liquid egg (frozen and chilled), albumin, dried proteinsA1.11.3.2. Processor concentrationThe processing sector in Poland is extremely concentrated with one single producer, (OVOPOL)accounting for 75% of market share. The share of two other largest companies (WEKO Poland andBASSO is approximately 20%).A1.11.3.3. Trade in egg productsThe importance of exports in the market for processed egg products is much more important thanin the case of shell eggs (share estimated at 40-60% depending on year). Polish exports of eggproducts concern mainly dried egg albumin (CN 35021119 and 35021990). Dried albumin (CN35021190) was the second largest export (after shell eggs) of eggs and egg products between 1999and 2001, contributing 40-45% of total value of exports.
