Project Concept

Egg powderAn egg consists of 3 main parts: the shell (10%), the albumen or eggwhite (60%) and the yolk (30%). An average egg weighs about 55-60gram. Egg, in full or parts, is used to prepare powder used in differentindustries:

Whole egg powder (WEP) is used in classical foodapplications where rising qualities are not essential,such as crackers, cookies and pasta.

Egg yolk powder (EYP) is used as a substitute forfresh egg yolk to obtain colour, texture, and emulsioncapacity. Egg yolk powder is most frequently used inmayonnaise, dressings, sauces and croissants.

Egg albumen powders (EAP) is used in a range ofitems from fish, meat, and potato preparations tobakery and pastry products.

Manufacture of dried egg powder starts with breaking of eggs and removing egg-shells. Afterremoval of shells, the mixture is filtered and stored in storage tanks at about 4oC and then it istaken to tabular heater, wherein it is dried at about 65oC for 8 to 10 minutes and it is filtered andpassed to high pressure spray drier with the help of high pressure pump. The material whichcomes out of high pressure spray drier is not only in dried form but also in powder form, which isthen packed in polylined boxes. The average yield is around 80%. A typical manufacturing processflow is shown below:

Market Potential

Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Russia start importingDue to stricter animal health norms enforced by the countries and due to the outbreak of avianinfluenza in 2012, India was unable to export egg products to a number of countries. However,within last two years lot of economies have opened up poultry imports from India, therebygenerating a huge market potential.

� Hong Kong announced the opening of its market for eggs in December 2015. The Hong Kongmarket for poultry products is worth $2 billion. If Indian exporters capture 10% of this in 2016-17,India’s export of poultry products can triple to US$300 million from $106 million in 2014-15.

� Kuwait allowed import of Indian poultry products, in 2015, with strict conditions for exportersfrom India to follow health procedures laid down by the World Organisation of Animal Health.

� Saudi Arabia, India’s largest destination for poultry products, opened its market in 2014.

� Russia, a huge market for Egg yoke, opened up for imports in 2014.

Egg powder: primarily a foreign exchange earner� Export of poultry products reached US$11.7 crores during 2015-16, a growth of 18% over 2014-

15 (US$10.6 crores). Export of dried egg products reached US$4.8 crores during 2015-16, agrowth of 8.7% over 2014-15 (US$4.7 crores).

� Export of dried egg products constituted over 40% of the export of poultry products.

� Japan is the largest buyer of egg powder followed by Germany and Indonesia.

India – lowest-cost egg producerThe shell eggs are cheapest in India, though the inputs cost is not the lowest. However, due toimproved efficiencies achieved by the farmers by producing more eggs per hen, India ranks one ofthe lowest in terms of price of egg production. Growth of the industry can be appreciated byfollowing figures:

Growth Drivers

1 Increasing healthconsciousness

Considering the increasing cholesterol related health issues, liquidwhite egg is expected to provide good returns to egg powder unitsin the years to come.

2 R&D to increase shelflife of products Units that succeed in increasing the shelf life of products will be

more competent to penetrate/expand in overseas markets.

3 Dollar and Euroappreciation

Being an Export Oriented Unit, appreciation of Dollar and Euroagainst Indian Rupee is positive for the unit. Strengthening ofDollar would reduce the competitiveness of US manufactures inforeign markets especially in Japan, which is a key importer ofprocessed egg products.

4 Possibility of risingdomestic demand

Currently, there isn’t any major local market for processed egg.Eggs are largely consumed by armed forces and bakery industry,and also distributed as mid-day meal in schools and hospitals.However, with increased availability of egg powder, thehousehold demand is expected to grow.

5 Rising foreigndemand, limitedprocessing units

� In the last two years, many economies have opened up forimport of processed egg products from India – Hong Kong,Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Russia.

� Currently there are only four-five egg powder processing units inthe country. And most of them are based out of South-India.Hence, there exists a potential to open up new units in otherparts of the country.

Gujarat - CompetitiveAdvantage

� Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Sikkim, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, AndhraPradesh (including Telangana), Karnataka, Chandigarh, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Meghalaya,Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Puducherry have achieved their egg production target during 2013-14.

� Gujarat achieved 105% of its targeted egg production, but owing to the difference in theproduction and consumption, the option of processing is worth exploring.

Gujarat – one of the top five states to over-achieve production targets

Gujarat - CompetitiveAdvantage

� Poultry sector needs technical, diploma and certificate holders to work as farm supervisors.� In India, the growth rate of the graduate manpower is not commensurate with growth rates of

either livestock sector or poultry sector.� With a minimum expected growth rate of 10% per annum in the sector, poultry sector alone

needs 1,140 veterinary graduates in 2020.� Gujarat boasts of its premium Agriculture University Banaskantha, which focuses on animal

husbandry through its two colleges (as mentioned below). Apart from these two, Gujarat hasother colleges offering full time and diploma courses in polytechnic and animal husbandry.

� Gujarat – Universities offering animal husbandry courses –reducing the skill gap in the industry4

� Availability of poultry feed ingredient5� Feeds account for about 60%-70% of the total cost of producing eggs or meat from poultry.

Maize is an excellent feed ingredient for both egg and meat laying birds and is extensively usedas an energy source. It is high in energy but low in protein. Other energy sources includesorghum and millet.

� Gujarat grows maize, both in Kharif and Rabi season, and hence ensures undisrupted supply ofkey feed ingredient.

� Other advantages6� Well developed transport infrastructure like roads, rail, port and air connectivity with main egg

producing areas in the state offers good opportunities for development of domestic as well asexport market.

� Furthermore, Gujarat is near to Gulf and Far East Asian countries, which have good exportpotential of the product.

� There is a regional and seasonal imbalance of demand and production of eggs. Therefore it isquite logical to process eggs in surplus areas and at the time of glut. Major egg producing areasare near to major consuming centres in South Gujarat and Maharashtra.

There are many benefits of establishing a large scale unit in poultry industry as compared tosetting up a small/medium scale unit:

� Larger units go for bulk purchases, seasonal purchases at harvest and even go for import offeed ingredients. The production costs can be managed.

� Mechanisation in feed production, feeding the birds and egg handling is possible with largerunits.

� Long distance supplies, exports and further processing can be planned with mass production.

� Larger units can adopt better technology like least cost feed formulations and biosecurityprotocols to prevent diseases.

Scale is the key

Key considerations

Procuring eggs in lakhs per day is not easy to replicate by any new entrantin this field. In order to overcome this challenge, the unit would have toestablish its own farms to source their requirement in part/full. However,despite sourcing its egg requirements from own farms, any adverse changein the price of feed ingredients may affect its raw material cost.

Being a food ingredient, import permission to developed countries is noteasy.

Ensuring the quality of feed and arranging periodic visit of veterinary doctorsto ensure the health of birds is essential. Since the end consumers are largeMNC food companies, stringent quality standards are to be met.

Since the competition is mainly with foreign firms, it can take years toestablish the label of a reliable and quality supplier in overseas markets.
