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, the Philippines recorded a strong and consistent increase in egg production throughout the study period, reflecting sustained growth in commercial poultry farming and rising domestic demand. Egg production increased from 486.95 thousand tonnes in 2015 to 505.88 thousand tonnes in 2016, 537.84 thousand tonnes in 2017, 580.52 thousand tonnes in 2018, and 632.80 thousand tonnes in 2019. Output continued to rise steadily to 656.27 thousand tonnes in 2020, 711.84 thousand tonnes in 2021, 764.13 thousand tonnes in 2022, and 785.88 thousand tonnes in 2023. Egg production further increased to 835.66 thousand tonnes in 2024, representing the highest production level during the study period. The overall trend highlights the continued expansion and resilience of the Philippines' poultry industry, supported by improving production efficiency, expanding farming capacity, and increasing consumer demand.
The dataset provides valuable insights into the Philippines' 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 growth opportunities, optimize operational planning, and strengthen supply chain resilience. The data is also valuable for assessing the Philippines' contribution to regional agricultural production, supporting agricultural innovation, improving production efficiency, enhancing food security, and promoting sustainable development across the poultry and food processing industries.
