The Canadian egg market

Canada produces an increasing number of eggs each year. In 2019, around 586 metric tons were produced nationwide, an increase of over 20 percent in volume since 2010. This production is, however, not distributed evenly across the country. Ontario is home to the most egg producers by a large margin, Alberta and Quebec come in distant second and third places. As a result, out of all the provinces, Ontario produced the largest volume of eggs in 2019 at around 303 million dozen. Canada is also active in the international egg trade. In 2019, they exported around 429 million U.S. dollars’ worth of the product and imported approximately 672 million U.S. dollars’ worth.
