# Egg supply to remain depressed - Commercial Farmers' Union of Zimbabwe

> Zimbabwe's egg market recovery is expected to take longer than the broiler sector's, with prices forecast to stay high in the second and third quarters. Layer breeding stock fell from 48,000 in July 2017 to 22,000 in August after destocking to contain avian influenza, then partly recovered to 34,000 by March 2018. The industry opposes importing table eggs given the avian influenza threat in the region.

## Why it matters

Tight domestic layer supply and high prices keep Zimbabwe reliant on feed for rebuilding flocks, but the impact on global feed grain prices is minimal.
