Why Uttar Pradesh is Called the 'Egg Bowl of North India'?
Uttar Pradesh, India's most populous state with 24 crore people, is a poultry powerhouse consuming approximately 5 crore eggs daily while producing 3.5 crore eggs locally. Western UP (Meerut, Ghaziabad, Aligarh, Saharanpur) is rightfully called the 'Egg Bowl of North India' - this region alone produces 60% of UP's total egg output and supplies 30% of Delhi NCR's massive demand. Meerut Wholesale Market, Asia's largest egg mandi, handles 1 crore eggs daily with 500+ traders and sets prices for North India. Key factors for UP's poultry dominance: 1) Fertile Gangetic plains ideal for agriculture and poultry feed, 2) Strategic location supplying 8 neighboring states, 3) Excellent highway connectivity (NH-24, Yamuna Expressway), 4) Massive domestic market (24 crore population), 5) Government support through subsidies and schemes, 6) Growing urban demand from cities like Noida, Ghaziabad, and Lucknow. The state aims to achieve self-sufficiency by 2025 through increased production in Eastern UP.
