China's egg output will reach nearly 30 million tons this year, accounting for more than 42 percent of the world's total.

China is the world's top egg producer, followed by the United States, Japan, Russia and India.

World Egg Day, which falls on the second Friday of October, aims to promote the consumption of shell eggs and egg products worldwide and call global attention to the high nutritional value of eggs.

Last year, China produced 28.79 million tons of eggs, an average of 22 kg per head.

However, China's eggs were less competitive on the international market due to low quality and poor processing technique.

According to the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization, China's egg exports accounted for less than one-tenth of the world's total.
