Characteristic features of the egg domestic market are: annual production growth (figures for 2012, almost twice the data of 2005); the processes of consolidation, as small producers leave the market due to the inability to compete with large industry. This is due to the high impact of depreciation of fixed assets, the lack of vertical integration, low quality local feed and poor genetic potential domestic crosses. As a result, most small producers in Ukraine have relatively low capacity utilization and low productivity.
