Summary:

  • 80 billion eggs. 300M layers. Each layer produces only 275 eggs per year
  • 200 companies with 75k+ hens produce 99% of eggs
  • 65 companies have 1M+ hens and 85% of market share.

Implications:

  • Hundreds of thousands of regenerative producers could constitute open source market substitution
