Why European egg productionmay be flat in 2018

摘要

The outlook for the European egg industry is broadly flat this year, with production forecast to increase by a mere 0.2 percent to 7.3 million tons, according to the European Commission.European egg producers entered 2018 buoyed by a favorable macro-economic outlook and highprices. Although off their 2017 high, egg prices at the end of the year were 47 percent higher than 12 months previously. But high prices are unlikely to be sustained throughout the remainder of the year.
