China is the world's leading producer of quail eggs, accounting for 38% of global production with an annual output of 184 billion pieces. Japan, Russia, Korea, and the Middle East are the primary markets for China's exports. Brazil ranks second globally in quail egg production, followed by the United States and Vietnam. The European Union's leading producers are France, Italy, and Spain, but Ukraine and Russia are the continent's largest sellers. Quail egg production is on the rise in several countries, including Australia, Canada, India, and Bangladesh. The lack of comprehensive global production figures is largely due to the significant portion of eggs produced on small farms that often go unreported.
