Export surge
India's poultry exports more than doubled to approximately $149 million during H1FY26, compared to $71.16 million in the same period the previous year. In Rupee terms, exports reached Rs 1,288.63 crore.
The UAE has emerged as the largest buyer of Indian eggs, surpassing Oman. Valsan Parameswaran, Secretary of the All India Poultry Exporters Association: "UAE, which opened up the market for Indian eggs last year, are importing in full swing."
Contributing factors and production
"The shortage in global supplies due to production issues in Turkey and Iran also contributed to the growth of Indian exports."
Egg production in India reached 142.77 billion during 2023–24, with 6.8 percent growth over the past decade. Andhra Pradesh leads at 17.85%, followed by Tamil Nadu at 15.64%.
