- Egg consumption in Germany has increased steadily, with demand surpassing supply especially in the pre-Easter period.
- Avian flu led to poultry housing restrictions in Baden-Württemberg, mildly affecting egg availability due to low local production.
- Only 25% of eggs consumed in Baden-Württemberg are locally produced, increasing reliance on imports from other regions.
- Although supply currently meets demand, concerns exist that panic buying could temporarily deplete store inventories.
Thus Germany is dependent on imports of eggs.— Andrea Bauer, CEO of the Poultry Industry Association Baden-Württemberg, commenting on the eggs supply situation ahead of Easter.
