Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Egg Production — – Egg Production refers to the total quantity of eggs produced by poultry within a country during a specified period, measured in tonnes. The indicator reflects the scale of poultry farming, livestock productivity, and the contribution of egg production to the agricultural and food sectors. It is used to assess domestic food production, protein supply, and the performance of the poultry industry. The data presented by Our World in Data is based on statistics from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
The data includes the annual production of hen eggs and other poultry eggs intended for human consumption, food processing, and industrial food applications. It covers eggs produced by commercial poultry farms as well as other officially reported poultry production systems. The figures represent gross domestic egg production compiled from official agricultural statistics and standardized by the FAO to enable international comparison across countries and years.
The data excludes hatching eggs intended solely for breeding, processed egg products such as liquid, dried, or powdered eggs, egg imports and exports, poultry meat production, live poultry inventories, and post-production losses. It also excludes informal or unrecorded production not captured in official agricultural statistics and eggs produced by wild birds or other non-commercial sources not included in national agricultural reporting.
About this indicator
Egg Production — – Egg Production refers to the total quantity of eggs produced by poultry within a country during a specified period, measured in tonnes.

It is used to assess domestic food production, protein supply, and the performance of the poultry industry. The data presented by Our World in Data is based on statistics from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
Based on the validated data, Finland recorded a steady upward trend in egg production throughout most of the study period, reflecting gradual improvements in poultry farming efficiency and production capacity. Egg production increased from 71.45 thousand tonnes in 2015 to 72.57 thousand tonnes in 2016, 73.55 thousand tonnes in 2017, 74.88 thousand tonnes in 2018, 75.60 thousand tonnes in 2019, and 75.84 thousand tonnes in 2020. Production continued to rise to 77.54 thousand tonnes in 2021, representing the highest output until that point. Output declined marginally to 76.33 thousand tonnes in 2022 before recovering slightly to 76.50 thousand tonnes in 2023. Egg production increased further to 80.00 thousand tonnes in 2024, marking the highest production level recorded during the study period. The overall trend highlights the consistent growth and resilience of Finland's poultry sector, supported by efficient production systems and stable domestic demand.
The dataset provides valuable insights into Finland's egg production trends, poultry farming performance, and agricultural supply chain development. It supports historical trend analysis, production benchmarking, market assessment, and forecasting of future egg supply. Farmers, poultry producers, food manufacturers, retailers, policymakers, investors, researchers, and industry stakeholders can use the dataset to evaluate production performance, identify growth opportunities, optimize resource allocation, and strengthen supply chain planning. The data is also valuable for assessing Finland's contribution to European poultry production, supporting agricultural innovation, improving production efficiency, enhancing food security, and promoting sustainable development across the poultry and food processing industries.
