Egg Production โ โ 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).
Based on the validated data, Indonesia recorded substantial growth in egg production throughout the study period, reflecting rapid expansion in commercial poultry farming and increasing domestic demand. Egg production increased from 1.70 million tonnes in 2015 to 1.83 million tonnes in 2016, followed by a significant rise to 5.00 million tonnes in 2017. Production continued to increase gradually to 5.06 million tonnes in 2018, 5.08 million tonnes in 2019, 5.49 million tonnes in 2020, 5.89 million tonnes in 2021, 6.32 million tonnes in 2022, and 6.56 million tonnes in 2023. Output further increased to 6.85 million tonnes in 2024, representing the highest production level during the study period. The overall trend highlights the strong expansion of Indonesia's poultry sector, supported by increasing production capacity, improvements in farming efficiency, and rising consumption across the country. The notable increase between 2016 and 2017 also reflects a significant structural shift in the reported production data.
The dataset provides valuable insights into Indonesia'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, exporters, policymakers, investors, researchers, and industry stakeholders can use the dataset to evaluate production performance, identify investment opportunities, optimize operational planning, and strengthen supply chain strategies. The data is also valuable for assessing Indonesia's contribution to regional and global egg production, supporting agricultural innovation, improving productivity, enhancing food security, and promoting sustainable economic development across the poultry and food processing industries.
