Detailed Technical Analysis & Market Intelligence
Egg sizing is critical for wholesale poultry trade economics. In Pakistan's major mandis, brown eggs are packed in standard wooden or paper crates containing 360 eggs (12 trays of 30 eggs). A standard crate of Large brown eggs weighs approximately 21 to 22.5 kg. Sizing is influenced by flock age, with pullets laying smaller eggs and older hens laying larger eggs.
