USAPEEC and AEB Promoting U.S. Egg Products

06/15/2021

In the face of extreme competition, USAPEEC consistently promotes U.S. eggs and egg products to support domestic volume and value.  For the first four months of 2021, Japan was the leading importer of egg products receiving 3,861 metric tons representing 31.2 percent of total U.S. exports of products and an increase of close to 20 percent compared with the corresponding period in 2020.  Egg product exports during the first four months of 2021 attained $13 million, but it is significant that the unit value for Japan was significantly higher than the average attaining $3,367 per metric ton.  Since conclusion of a bilateral trade agreement with Japan, the U.S. will no longer be at a competitive disadvantage with respect to the E.U.

 

On June 3rd and 4th, USAPEEC and the AEB jointly organized an educational seminar in Yokohama City to educate future chefs about U.S. egg products, the industry and quality.  The program was presented in collaboration with the Seishin International Food Confectionary School.  Approximately 120 students participated to hear presentations from guest speakers representing leading food companies.  Yukako Sakai of the Kewpie Corporation was the featured guest.  Her company is responsible for manufacturing and distribution of 10 percent of eggs and egg products consumed in Japan.  Ms. Sakai discussed egg structure and composition, functional properties, dried eggs and their application in manufacturing

 

Additional seminars are planned incorporating hands-on-cooking demonstrations by prominent chefs featuring U.S. dried egg products.
