Why Punjab Has Strong Egg Production Capacity?
Punjab, known as the "Food Bowl of India," is one of the leading egg-producing states in North India with approximately 70% self-sufficiency. The state has over 8,000 registered poultry farms producing 3.5-4 crore eggs daily. Punjab's strong agricultural base provides cheap feed (wheat, maize, soybean) which keeps production costs low. Ludhiana and Jalandhar districts are major poultry hubs with integrated farming operations including Suguna, Venky's, and local cooperatives. The state's excellent road network via NH-44 makes it a key supplier to Delhi-NCR (consuming 2+ crore eggs daily), Jammu-Kashmir, and Himachal Pradesh. Winter season (November-February) sees 10-15% price increase due to higher demand and reduced production in extreme cold. Punjab's poultry industry employs over 1.5 lakh people directly and supports the state's rural economy significantly.
