Assessing the state of reproduction and the regional egg market in the context of food security

Ensuring sustainable supply in all food markets, including the regional market of eggs and egg products, is fundamental to achieving food security in the region, which contributes to the implementation of key government objectives in the field of substitution of imported products and providing the population with high-quality food. The purpose of the study is to assess the state of reproduction and the regional market of eggs and egg products in the context of ensuring food security in the Irkutsk region. The object of the research is the own production of eggs and egg products on the regional market of the Irkutsk region. The author applies statistical methods: descriptive statistics, comparative analysis, dynamic series analysis and other research methods. At the first stage of the study, the analysis of data on the number of chickens, production volumes and egg production allows us to determine the type of reproduction as expanded due to extensive factors. The analysis of production output by category of producers shows that the main category of egg producers in the Irkutsk region are agricultural organizations. Analyzing the level of egg self–sufficiency in the region, a fairly high level of 154% was revealed, but not a sufficient level of economic accessibility 95%, which indicates that the population consumes eggs less than the established rational consumption rate. The assessment of import/export ratio shows that the region does not depend on imports and that both exports and imports are developing quite well in the region. To increase the level of consumption, development directions are proposed for both producers and government agencies. The results of the state of reproduction assessment and the regional egg market in the context of ensuring food security can be applied by government agencies to develop a strategy for the development of the poultry industry and optimize government support, as well as by producers to regulate their production activities in order to increase its economic efficiency.
