APPENDIX 1: MEMBER STATE REPORTSstarted to recover and over the last few years production and utilisation of eggs in Poland hasincreased substantially as a result of the growth in egg processing, rising human consumption andstrong export development.Human consumption of eggs in Poland in 2003 was about 8.2 billion pieces (including about 1.0 billionfor processing). There is no data for sales broken down by packaging type, but direct observationindicates that the bulk of shell eggs are being traded through the retail sector in boxes. The share ofshell eggs sold in bulk is marginal and concerns mainly open air markets and small shops (groceries,corner shops). Approximately 3.5-3.6 billion shell eggs were sold direct from farms or were used onfarm. The remaining surplus shell eggs are mainly exported or go into feed and hatching. For humanconsumption, the share of processed eggs in total consumption is estimated at a about 15% butgrowing as a result of increases in real income and higher demand for further processed products.Direct use of eggs in households is also declining as food service demand increases.Per capita consumption off eggs is subject to strong variations according to the type household seeTable A1.98. In 2002 it ranged from 228 eggs per capita in farmers' households to 157 eggs in thefarm employees’ households. This reflects the level of incomes and traditional patterns ofconsumption within each social group.Table A1.98: Per capita consumption of eggs 1989-2002Households 1989 1994 1999 2000 2001 2002Average 215 176 181 175 177 181Employees 190 153 157 151 154 157Employees with a farm 242 198 193 193 190 194Farmers 276 222 223 220 218 228Entrepreneurs n.a. 150 153 156 157 163Retired and pensioners 253 209 218 207 212 213Living out of none-income sources (social benefits – mainlyunemployed)n.a. 129 154 153 155 167Source: CSOA1.11.4.2. PricesAverage retail and producer prices are presented in Table A1.99 and Figure A1.65. As can be seenfrom these despite some fluctuations there is a clear upwards trend in the 1990-1996 periodfollowed by relative price stability with producer price staying in the range 0.17-0.20 PLN (€0.037-0.043) per egg while retail prices have stayed in the range 0.27-0.31 PLN (€0.059-0.067). It isunderstood that there are no price premiums for the eggs produced in the deep litter system. Somepremiums are available for speciality eggs (e.g. vitamin enriched or organically produced) but this typeof output is marginal.267
