Egg marketing: A guide for the production and sales of eggs
SUMMARY:
This guide provides information and advice to those concerned with the production and sale of eggs in
developing countries with an emphasis on marketing, i.e. producing in order to meet market demand. Marketled egg production enables long-term business survival, higher profits and a better standard of living for the
egg producer. Improvement measures discussed in this publication have been found to be effective in
practice. However, as is inevitable with any publication attempting to address such a wide range of
conditions, some of the recommendations and observations found herein may be unsuitable to the reader?s
particular circumstances. The reader should select what appears advantageous for the solution of his or her
own particular problem(s).
