Why Puducherry Has Competitive Egg Prices?
Puducherry, the "French Riviera of the East," enjoys one of the most competitive egg prices in South India due to its strategic proximity to Namakkal, India's largest egg production hub just 90 km away. The Union Territory consists of four non-contiguous districts spread across three states - Puducherry and Karaikal in Tamil Nadu region, Mahe in Kerala, and Yanam in Andhra Pradesh. This unique geography creates different supply chains for each district. The main Puducherry region benefits from excellent NH-32 and NH-45A connectivity to Tamil Nadu's poultry belt. Tourism industry and French-influenced food culture maintain steady demand, especially during peak season (October-March). Local production meets only 20% of demand, with the rest imported primarily from Namakkal, Villupuram, and Chennai markets.
