Arrived with Captain cook 1780s Household –backyard to Farms In 2016 New Zealand had some 146
commercial egg producers, with the largest 6 companies accounting for over 75% of total production. An estimated national flock of 3.8 million hens laid over 100 million dozen eggs per year.
Exports In the days before organised marketing,
local supplies sometimes exceeded local demand, so in 1912 the Department of Agriculture exported a trial shipment of eight 30-dozen cases of eggs to Vancouver. These arrived in excellent condition.
By 1913, organised cooperative ‘egg circles’
sent shipments to Vancouver and London. Between the world wars larger consignments were shipped.
Cooped-up Even in the early days of the poultry industry, hen
housing was a matter for debate. An article in the 1910 issue of the Journal of Agriculture stated that ‘The proper housing of fowls is one of the most discussed questions of the day. … The old, closed in and ill ventilated house must go. The open front and draught proof structure is the ideal’.
Egg Producers Federation and Eggs Inc. The Egg Producers Federation of New Zealand (EPFNZ)
was formed in July 1989 to represent commercial egg
Commodity Levies (Eggs) Order 2009 – any person or
automatically becomes a member. The EPFNZ is funded by a levy which is incorporated into the price of the chicks, and is payable on chicks up to five days old when sold for the first time. 60% of the EPFNZ levy is used to fund Eggs Inc., an organisation that promotes eggs.
A trade association that represents the
interests of commercial egg producers in all production systems.
Registered as an Incorporated Society in
1989.
Governed by a board of up to 9 members,
currently 8 members. 5 regional farmer reps, 1 dedicated free range rep, 2 national reps
Funded under the Commodity Levies Act
since 1992.
The Levy is collected on the sale of day old
chicks from the two commercial hatcheries
Every six years farmers vote for the renewal
the levy is spent on generic promotion of eggs.
The EPF is serviced by an office of 5 staff
The Executive Director, a PA/Administrator and three Technical Executive Officers.
The office also separately works for the
Poultry Meat Industry (PIANZ) and the Manufactured Feed Industry (NZFMA)

NZ is unique – it is known as the healthiest
country in the world to raise chickens – due to our freedom from the 3 major poultry diseases i.e. Newcastle Disease, Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD), and highly pathogenic Avian Influenza.
The NZ Poultry Industry (meat and eggs)
funds an Industry IBD Surveillance Programme to prove our freedom from IBD

1989 price and production controls were abolished in the
egg industry
Although the prices paid to producers for eggs were
reduced, there was no corresponding price drop for consumers.
Consequently, the number of commercial egg
producers has declined rapidly. Many producers now sell directly to wholesalers and retailers, rather than through cooperatives.
