Abstract: Egg marketing channels have become more direct and simplified over the last two decades. Packing plants now are major receivers of eggs from producers and the major suppliers to retail outlets, institutions, and breakers. The role of wholesale distributors has continued to decline. Direct marketing producers have grown in importance. About 72 percent of the commercial egg supply is consumed as shell eggs by households, 16 percent is used by institutional outlets, and the balance is used in manufactured products.
