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

The data presented by Our World in Data is based on statistics from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
Based on the validated data, Spain recorded a generally positive production trend throughout the study period, with moderate fluctuations reflecting changing production conditions and market dynamics. Egg production increased from 805.95 thousand tonnes in 2015 to 831.38 thousand tonnes in 2016 and 851.58 thousand tonnes in 2017. Output declined slightly to 839.35 thousand tonnes in 2018 and 831.70 thousand tonnes in 2019 before rising significantly to 872.95 thousand tonnes in 2020. Production eased to 853.38 thousand tonnes in 2021 but recovered to 861.32 thousand tonnes in 2022 and 880.17 thousand tonnes in 2023. Output reached 884.10 thousand tonnes in 2024, representing the highest production level during the study period. The overall trend highlights the continued expansion and resilience of Spain's poultry industry, supported by improvements in production efficiency, commercial farming systems, and steady domestic and export demand.
The dataset provides valuable insights into Spain's egg production trends, poultry farming performance, and agricultural sector development. It supports historical trend analysis, production benchmarking, market evaluation, and forecasting of future egg supply. Farmers, poultry producers, food manufacturers, retailers, exporters, policymakers, investors, researchers, and industry stakeholders can use the dataset to assess production performance, identify growth opportunities, improve operational planning, and strengthen supply chain strategies. The data is also valuable for evaluating Spain's contribution to European agricultural production, supporting innovation in poultry farming, improving productivity, enhancing food security, and promoting sustainable economic development across the poultry and food manufacturing industries.
