Imports of eggs, from the Croatian Chamber of Commerce, traditionally grow before Easter but record positive trends in exports and imports of table eggs.

We are in Holy Week, we will paint eggs on Saturday, and it is certain that many of the imported ones will be found among the locals. According to the Croatian Chamber of Commerce, the import of eggs traditionally grows before Easter, but there are positive trends in the export and import of table eggs.

“Although the production of chicken eggs in Croatia in 2017 amounted to 654 million pieces, which is a decrease of about 9 million pieces (1.4 per cent) compared to 2016 when we produced 663 million, there are positive trends in exports and imports table eggs.

Imports of eggs grow before Easter

So last year we imported 90.5 million eggs worth 5 million euros which is a drop of 28 per cent compared to 2017 when we imported 94.8 million eggs worth 6.4 million euros. At the same time, our exports increased by almost 133 per cent, from 900,000 euros in 2017 (13.6 million eggs) to 2.1 million euros in 2018 (24.4 million eggs).

Since statistics traditionally show an increased import of eggs in the Easter month, we can expect the same in 2019. Namely, the increase in imports before Easter in the last few years has varied from 30 to 60 per cent. In March last year alone, we imported almost 6 million eggs, which is a significant increase compared to the first two months of 2018, when 7.4 million were imported, “the Croatian Chamber of Commerce said.
