Direct Answer Summary
This is the ultimate Ph.D.-level economic debate. In the 2026 economy, characterized by high feed costs and urbanized consumption, the answer depends on your "Market Access." White layers offer high-volume, low-margin stability (The "Mass Market"). Brown layers offer low-volume, high-margin premium returns (The "Niche Market"). A Ph.D. feasibility study shows that Brown Layers have a 15% higher Total ROI IF the farmer can sell directly to urban hubs and maintain an FCR of 2.15. If the farmer is in a remote area with high transport costs, the "Bearish" logistics will eat the brown egg premium, making White Layers a safer bet.ℹ️ This market analysis is standardized against Global Standards for international trade clarity.
