Egg Production β β 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, Singapore recorded an overall upward trend in egg production throughout the study period, despite moderate year-to-year fluctuations. Egg production increased from 26.49 thousand tonnes in 2015 to 28.33 thousand tonnes in 2016 and 32.49 thousand tonnes in 2017. Output declined slightly to 30.50 thousand tonnes in 2018 before recovering to 32.88 thousand tonnes in 2019. Production continued to rise to 38.15 thousand tonnes in 2020 and 39.82 thousand tonnes in 2021, followed by a modest decline to 37.74 thousand tonnes in 2022. Egg production increased significantly to 42.30 thousand tonnes in 2023 and reached 47.61 thousand tonnes in 2024, representing the highest production level during the study period. The overall trend highlights the gradual expansion of Singapore's domestic egg production, supported by investments in modern farming technologies and initiatives to strengthen national food resilience.
The dataset provides valuable insights into Singapore'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 availability. Farmers, food producers, retailers, policymakers, investors, researchers, and industry stakeholders can use the dataset to evaluate production performance, improve operational planning, identify investment opportunities, and strengthen supply chain resilience. The data is also valuable for assessing Singapore's progress toward greater food self-sufficiency, supporting agricultural innovation, improving production efficiency, enhancing food security, and promoting sustainable development within the country's poultry and agri-food sectors.
