FAQs
Where does Spain australia eggs?
Australia is largely self-sufficient in fresh shell egg production, but imports are used in specific situations—particularly for egg products used in the food industry.
Top sources of imported egg products include:
- United States – A reliable exporter of powdered and liquid eggs, widely used in food processing.
- Netherlands & Germany – Suppliers of EU-standard egg products, including pasteurized options.
- New Zealand – A close partner with mutual biosecurity standards, used for niche and emergency imports.
- Argentina & Thailand – Exporters of Halal-certified powdered eggs used in manufacturing.
Imports are subject to Australian Government biosecurity approvals, managed by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) and Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ).
These sources allow Australia to maintain a steady supply of eggs to meet the needs of its population. To Learn more about working with international egg markets contact eusales@eggsunlimited.com.

Australia occasionally imports egg products due to:
- Manufacturing Demand – Australian bakeries, pasta makers, and food processors require large volumes of egg powder and liquid egg, which is often more efficiently sourced internationally.
- Biosecurity Events – During avian influenza outbreaks, imports may be used to stabilize supply.
- Seasonal or Regional Shortages – Imports help balance shortfalls in certain regions or production periods.
- Specialty Product Access – Cage-free, organic, and Halal-certified eggs are imported to meet specific consumer and export demands.

How much do eggs cost in Australia?
Egg prices in Australia vary based on type, region, and broader market conditions.
Key factors influencing egg prices in Australia:
- Feed Costs
Australia produces much of its own grain but is still affected by global commodity prices and local weather (droughts, floods). Feed is the biggest contributor to egg pricing. - Transport & Logistics
Remote regions incur higher transportation costs, affecting price parity across states. - Animal Welfare Compliance
The shift to cage-free and free-range systems adds to production costs, but also aligns with strong consumer preferences. - Consumer Demand
There’s increasing demand for free-range, organic, and Omega-3 enriched eggs, especially in metropolitan areas. - Retail & Wholesale Dynamics
Supermarkets like Woolworths, Coles, and IGA influence national pricing through bulk procurement and private label agreements. - Seasonal Trends & Avian Health Events
Outbreaks and extreme heat impact laying rates, driving short-term price fluctuations.
