Summary:
- 8 billion eggs. 300M layers. Each layer produces only 25 eggs per year? How to explain discrepancy of 10 for the 300 eggs that a hen could lay? Only by fact that a chicken lays eggs only 1/10 of its life????
- 200 companies with 75k+ hens produce 99% of eggs
- 65 companies have 1M+ hens.
Implications:
- Hundreds of thousands of regenerative producers could constitute open source market substitution
