APPENDIX 1: MEMBER STATE REPORTSA2.2.3. TradeIndian trade in eggs and egg products represents a very limited proportion of the country’s output,although volumes have been increasing. While there are no recorded imports of egg products it isestimated that India produced and exported 5,000 tonnes of dried egg products in 2002 (4,000tonnes in 2001,3,000 tonnes in 2000) and that in 2003 this would have more than doubled to over12,500 tonnes. There are no recorded shell egg imports but exports are estimated at 350 mn eggs in2003.Table A2.20: Egg and egg product exports, India 2000-20032000 2001 2002 2003Dried egg products (tonnes of product) 3,000 4,000 5,000 12,500Shell eggs (mn. eggs) - 200 400 350Source: National Egg Co-ordination Committee.A2.2.4. Policy and outlookThe Indian egg production and processing sector has been developing rapidly over the last decadeand technical efficiency in both production and processing has been improving.

Animal welfare is not at present a concern in thesector and the bulk of commercial production is expected to be derived from caged systems for theforeseeable future.351
