A newly released federal agricultural report indicates that the volume of shell eggs being broken for processing has increased by 3 percent compared to the same time last year.
The figures were published in the latest egg products summary from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service.
The report tracks how shell eggs are being broken down and processed into egg products, which are used in a wide range of food manufacturing and commercial applications across the country.
The 3 percent year-over-year increase suggests a modest but notable uptick in demand for processed egg products relative to the prior year’s figures.
