Tridge summary

In 2022, Brazil achieved a record high in chicken egg production, reaching 4.06 billion dozens, marking a 1.2% increase from the previous year, as reported by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). This growth was attributed to the rising inflation in the animal protein sector, which propelled eggs as a more economical alternative to meat. Despite the increased production, high costs and narrow profit margins continued to impact the industry since 2020. The production figures varied across Brazil's 26 states, with Ceará, Paraná, Minas Gerais, Maranhão, and Tocantins experiencing the most significant increases, while Espírito Santo witnessed a decline. São Paulo remained the leading egg-producing state, despite a slight decrease in production, followed by Paraná, Minas Gerais, and Espírito Santo. The final quarter of 2022 saw an all-time high in monthly production, with over 1.04 billion dozens, indicating a positive trend in the sector despite the ongoing challenges.
