Chicken eggs: the main source of nutrients and champion of production in the Leningrad region

Eggs are a great source of quality protein, as well as omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants. Notably, 60% of the high-quality protein is concentrated in the white, while the yolk offers vitamins, minerals and healthy fats. Egg yolks contain vitamin D, which is especially important for Russians who suffer from its deficiency. An average serving of two eggs covers 82% of the daily requirement for this vitamin, as well as 50% of folate and 40% of selenium.

In addition, eating eggs has a positive effect on mental HEALTH , as they help reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality due to a combination of vitamins and minerals. Eggs are an affordable and easy way to increase your intake of essential nutrients, which helps reduce the risks of various diseases.

In terms of production, the Leningrad Region is the leading region in RUSSIA in terms of chicken egg production. Since the beginning of 2025, local poultry farms have produced 889.5 million eggs, which is 2.1% more than last year. The Sinyavinskaya and Roskar factories are actively developing their capacities, and the Oredezh factory is building new poultry houses with the goal of achieving the production of 600 million eggs per year. As a result, the Leningrad Region is preparing to increase production to 4 billion eggs per year.
