Easter 2025: Austria's egg quality in international focus!

In view of the approaching Easter, the Austria Chamber of Agriculture urges the importance of regional egg production. President Josef Moosbrugger emphasizes that Austrian laying hens is of the highest quality and no longer kept hen in cages. In a clear appeal, he emphasizes the importance of self -sufficiency and the need to support domestic products, especially since the United States has even expressed interest in egg imports from Europe, including Austria. The encouragement for domestic agriculture is essential to guarantee the quality and safety of egg supply, such as reports.

In terms of organic eggs, strict requirements must be observed, which, among other things, prescribe a minimum area per hen and access to the outdoor. EGG goods must also be provided with a producer code that makes the type of attitude and origin transparent. The shopping behavior shows that consumers are increasingly relying on eggs from soil and outdoor farming, which again illustrates the urgency of animal welfare and regional production. Linking quality, animal welfare and regional care is crucial to promote domestic agriculture and at the same time to comply with high standards.
