@timofeySo the whole planet cracked out about 100 million tonnes of eggs in 2024, per FAO figures, and hen eggs did almost all of that heavy lifting at roughly 94% of the total. Eggs themselves are an animal-resource product, and they feed into food security, nutrition, poultry-sector incomes and agricultural value chains. Wild stuff when you zoom out. Top producers for the year: China: 35.88 million tonnes India: 8.10 million tonnes Indonesia: 6.85 million tonnes United States: 6.47 million tonnes Brazil: 3.73 million tonnes Mexico: 3.27 million tonnes Russia: 2.62 million tonnes Japan: 2.48 million tonnes Türkiye: 1.32 million tonnes Bangladesh: 1.28 million tonnes Pakistan: 1.21 million tonnes Thailand: 1.14 million tonnes Argentina: 1.08 million tonnes Germany: 997,458 tonnes Colombia: 991,094 tonnes Spain: 884,100 tonnes Malaysia: 857,751 tonnes United Kingdom: 850,000 tonnes South Korea: 839,142 tonnes Philippines: 835,660 tonnes Source: FAOSTAT, 2024, via Our World in Data. Numbers cover egg production from domesticated or farmed birds, and where 2024 figures weren't available, the closest year in the 2019 to 2023 range was used in the OWID dataset
