Germany Ensures Stable Egg Supply for Easter Despite Rising Demand

Authorities confirm sufficient egg availability for Easter 2025, addressing concerns over increased consumption and global avian flu disruptions.

Egg consumption in Germany rose by over 4% in 2024, reaching 20.8 billion eggs, with an average of 249 eggs consumed per person.
Domestic production met only 72% of demand in 2024, prompting a 7% increase in imports, primarily from the Netherlands.
Avian flu caused disruptions in global and domestic egg production, but authorities state Germany's supply remains stable for Easter.
The United States requested increased egg exports from Germany due to its own shortages, but significant exports are considered unlikely.
Egg prices in Germany are expected to remain stable through Easter 2025 due to long-term contracts between producers and retailers.
