HYDERABAD: It’s a problem of plenty for the egg industry in the state.
Over the past nine years since state formation, the annual egg production has risen by over 65% from 1,061 crore in 2014-15 to 1,767 crore in 2022-23, as per the data from the state planning department’s report ‘Telangana at a glance 2023’. But the industry is finding it tough to keep pace with its increasing capacity as local consumption has been stagnant and there is stiff competition in other states.
With a share of 13%, Telangana occupies the third spot in the country behind Tamil Nadu (22%) and Andhra Pradesh (16%).
