Argentina became the world's second largest egg consumer last year with 363 eggs per capita

In 2024, Argentina achieved a record high in egg production and consumption, with a total of 17.432 billion eggs produced, marking a 10.28% increase from the previous year. This growth is primarily attributed to an 8.6% rise in the number of laying hens, the adoption of new technologies, and the expansion of farms. Despite high inflation, producers have kept egg prices affordable for consumers. As a result, Argentina ranks as the world's second-largest egg consumer, with per capita consumption expected to surpass that of other countries in the coming years.
