Comparing the egg production of China and Russia, China's annual egg production is as high as 29.4 million tons, while Russia's annual egg production is 2.47 million tons. The gap is very obvious, and China's egg production is more than ten times that of Russia. This also makes China the world's largest egg producer, while Russia's egg production is relatively low.
There are several main reasons why China is able to have such a large egg production. First of all, China has a strong and comprehensive light industry base, the aquaculture industry has been modernized, and the efficiency of aquaculture has been greatly improved through advanced technical equipment and management methods. Secondly, as a country with a long history of agriculture, many rural families maintain the tradition of growing vegetables and raising poultry, and the ** of these small farmers has also played a positive role in promoting China's egg market. Therefore, despite the large Chinese population, there are still a large number of eggs ** left every year.
In contrast, egg production in Russia is relatively low. Due to the cold weather at high latitudes and frozen soils, the production of agricultural products in Russia is limited, and many agricultural products are only enough for the consumption of their own people. The shortage of agricultural products has led to the problem of insufficient supply of eggs, which in turn has led to the continuation of eggs.
The problem of insufficient and high supply of eggs in Russia is mainly due to the following reasons.
First of all, Russia, as a high-latitude country, has a cold climate, and people are more likely to feel hungry in cold weather, so there is a greater need for food with higher energy. Eggs are widely consumed as a nutritious food. Russia's per capita egg intake exceeds the world average, and with the fact that eggs play an important role in Russia's food culture, egg consumption is relatively high on holidays and other occasions.
Secondly, the Russia-Ukraine war has led to a large number of young and middle-aged laborers participating in the war, resulting in a shortage of egg supply. The destruction and impact of the war on agricultural production has caused the emergence of eggs, widened the gap between supply and demand, and promoted the growth of eggs.
In order to solve the problem of insufficient and persistent eggs, Russia has taken the following measures.
First of all, Russia has increased the production of eggs by improving the level of agriculture, increasing the modernization of domestic agricultural machinery and equipment, and increasing the development of domestic chicken and duck breeding.
Secondly, Russia makes up for its domestic deficit by importing agricultural products from other countries. Putin said he would import 1.2 billion duty-free eggs to meet domestic demand as much as possible.
In addition, Russia has also encouraged farmers to increase the scale and input of egg farming by increasing agricultural subsidies and policy support to increase production capacity.
Finally, Russia is also investing efforts in increasing egg imports to find more eggs At present, Russia imports eggs from abroad mainly from European countries, but due to high transportation costs, imported eggs are higher. Therefore, Russia faces certain challenges in finding more cheap ***.
In short, the shortage of eggs and the high level of eggs are a specific problem facing Russia. Russia has taken a series of measures to solve this problem, by improving agricultural production efficiency, increasing agricultural imports and policy support, hoping to alleviate the problem of egg shortage and stabilize eggs.
