Data definition
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.

Based on the validated data, Mexico recorded a steady and sustained increase in egg production throughout the study period, reflecting expanding poultry farming activities, improved production efficiency, and rising domestic consumption. Egg production increased from 2.65 million tonnes in 2015 to 2.72 million tonnes in 2016, 2.77 million tonnes in 2017, 2.87 million tonnes in 2018, and 2.95 million tonnes in 2019. Production continued its upward trajectory to 3.02 million tonnes in 2020, followed by 3.05 million tonnes in 2021, 3.10 million tonnes in 2022, and 3.17 million tonnes in 2023. Output further increased to 3.27 million tonnes in 2024, representing the highest production level during the study period. The overall trend highlights the continued expansion and resilience of Mexico's poultry industry, supported by increasing production capacity and strong market demand.
The dataset provides valuable insights into Mexico's egg production trends, poultry farming performance, and agricultural supply chain development. It supports historical trend analysis, production benchmarking, market evaluation, and forecasting of future egg availability. Farmers, poultry producers, food manufacturers, retailers, exporters, policymakers, investors, researchers, and industry stakeholders can use the dataset to evaluate production performance, identify growth opportunities, improve operational planning, and strengthen supply chain strategies. The data is also valuable for assessing Mexico's contribution to regional agricultural production, supporting innovation in poultry farming, improving production efficiency, enhancing food security, and promoting sustainable economic development across the poultry and food processing industries.
