EGG PRODUCTION
The total farm value of poultry and eggs produced in Georgia decreased 18 percent to $2.30 billion for the 2002 production year.

For the nineteenth consecutive year, Georgia has been the leader in broiler production with 1.29 billion birds in 2002. Production increased 3 percent from 1.25 billion broilers produced in 2001. Pounds produced in 2002 totaled 6.45 billion. The average price received per pound for broilers in 2002 was 30.0 cents per pound, down 9.0 cents from the 2001 average price. Georgia ranked first in the number of broilers produced and accounted for 15 percent of the number and pounds of the Nation's broiler production in 2002. For the eighth consecutive year, Georgia ranked number one in the Nation in value of broiler production.
Egg production in Georgia for the year ending November 30, 2002, totaled 4.96 billion eggs, 2 percent less than in 2001. The number of layers averaged 20.5 million in 2002, 3 percent less than the previous year. In hatching egg flocks, the average number of layers was up 1 percent, to 9.52 million from 9.40 million in 2001. The average number of layers in table egg flocks was 10.9 million in 2002. All layers in Georgia produced an average of 243 eggs per hen in 2002, 1 egg more than 2001's average of 242. Hatching egg flocks produced 2.11 billion eggs during 2002, 1 percent more than the previous year. Table egg flocks produced 2.85 billion eggs in 2002, 5 percent less than 2001.
