I like to eat eggs a lot, they are yummie stuffs, but to run chicken/eggs farms in singapore, is really not competitive, sg gov steps in with grants and such to protect sg farms and strategic chicken/egg security reasons! lolz!

Same for veggies farms, and the kelong farms.. all not doing too well...

Malaysia farms' costs are lower and makes more sense...

taking a look at local production & egg import, % market share of local production bottom out in 2010 at 21.50 % and it has been on an uptrend ever since to reach 25.97% in 2013.

SG target to have 30% from local production.

From annual report, it seem the amortization period of biological asset ie layer hens is at most 78 weeks or 1.5 yrs. Anyone with financial background can confirm on this?

Chicken and Egg - some fun facts

A hen's egg production is at its peak from 6 to 18 months of age. The strange thing about hens is that they moult. At about 2 years of age, the average chicken will go into a molt and lose all or a lot of its feather and grow new ones. During the molt, the hen will lay few, if any, eggs. Once she gets her mojo back, she will lay fewer, but larger eggs. With aging, hens will lay fewer and fewer eggs.

Do you know?
- Some hens can produce over 300 eggs a year.
- In 2012, the average person consumed about 250 eggs in the US
- In the US, a hen in a commercial farm produces about 275 eggs a year
- The average lifespan of a hen is 6-7 years. In the commercial setting, most hens are slaughtered once the productivity drops after 1.5 years
- The measure of freshness for egg is the Haugh. The Haugh Unit is determined by measuring the thickness of the egg white against the egg's weight. All local eggs in Singapore have a Haugh Unit of at least 72, i.e., the best grade possible!
- In the past ten years (since 2004), local production of eggs has increased from 378 million a year to 438 million a year!
- The per capita consumption of egg in Singapore has increased from 268 eggs per capita per year in 2004 to 312 egg per capita per year in 2013!
- The import price of egg has increased from 10.18c in 2004 to 11.63c in 2014.
- After the SARS period in 2004, the foreign import of eggs was curtailed and local production accounted for 34% of all consumption
- A farmer in the USA invented red contact lens for hens so that they fight less, consume less but lay more eggs?
