Tamil Nadu’s poultry farms are majorly located around the Namakkal district. The district has 700 of the 1,100 poultry farms in Tamil Nadu, which produce 60 million eggs per day.
There has been a global rise in the prices of eggs as the FIFA World Cup continues amid the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.
These eggs from the Namakkal district are also exported to Kerala, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and West Bengal.
