Egg production in Australia

 A published overview of the Australian egg industry by Food Standards Australia/New Zealand says that Egg production initially started here when producers began going beyond just providing for the immediate family and commenced supplying local areas. Over time, increasing flock sizes met the demand from increasing urbanisation in Australia . This has now grown into an industry producing 6.98 billion eggs with a gross production value of approximately $1.37 billion in the 2023-24 financial year (Australian Eggs 2024). Sadly there are only one or two producers such as us at Freeranger Eggs, satisfying local demand for genuine low density free range eggs. More are needed close to every township.
