Trade in egg productsThe UK is a net importer of processed egg products and the trade balance has been worsening overthe years from imports of 24,041 tonnes, exports of 9,240 tonnes, net deficit of 14,801 tonnes in1995 to imports of 51,341 tonnes, exports of 4,433 tonnes and a net import requirement of 46,908tonnes in 2003. The UK imports a considerable amount of boiled egg, mainly from the Netherlands,Belgium and Denmark. The main reason for this is that white eggs are better for boiling and UK eggproduction is virtually all brown eggs. There are also net imports of albumin, whole egg and eggyolks. However, dried egg is the main import as there are no egg drying facilities in the UK.A1.15.4. Egg marketsA1.15.4.1.

The retail sector accounts for 64.0% of this total (6.9 billion eggs),processing 20.5% (2.2 billion eggs) and the catering sector 15.5% (1.7 billion eggs).
