Between 2006 and 2016, egg imports by the 37 EMC grew much slower than exports, this is the case in the absolute as well as in the relative increase. The absolute import volume grew from 253,044 t in 2006 t to 557,628 t in 2016 or by 120.4%; the export volume in contrast by 534,094 t or 136.2% in the same time period (see also Table 10). The share of the EMC in the global import volume increased from 21.0% to 26.5%; their contribution to the global egg export volume from 31.8% to 46.5%.This documents, as was already mentioned, that many EMC were able to meet the growing domestic demand by intensifying their egg production.
