Regional Changes in Egg Production

Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Over the last decade or so, egg production has not kept pace with population growth mainly because the demand for eggs has been declining. At the same time, egg production has been limited because of relatively more attractive economic opportunities for people in other lines of agriculture and in nonfarm pursuits. The 24 percent increase in population between 1947-49 and 1961 has been accompanied by only an 11 percent rise in farm egg output, despite declining prices for eggs and rising per capita incomes. All regions did not share equally in the larger egg production. Output expanded at several times the national rate in the South Atlantic and Western regions and declined significantly in the North Central Region. These changes brought about a substantial shift in the regional distribution of egg production in the United States.
