There are three egg production systems - cage, free range and barn-laid. Producers of all systems have a united voice through the VFF Egg Group on industry issues such as: drought, codes of practice, animal welfare, animal health, food safety, the environment, research and development, education, training, feed grains, imports and industry relations.

The Egg Group has been a long-standing member of the Australian Egg Industry Association. The AEIA represented the Australian Egg Industry - producers and marketers - at a National level. AEIA has now been superseded by the Australian Egg Corporation Ltd. AECL is owned by egg farmers and financed by levies on day old chicks paid by egg producers.

The VFF Egg Group holds proxies from Victorian egg farmers, therefore represents them at AECL meetings.

The VFF Egg Group is committed to the long-term viability of the Victorian egg industry and is recognised as the voice of the Victorian egg industry by both government and media.

The Victorian industry has many forward thinking farmers in all production systems who are embracing new technologies. It is fortunate to have enthusiastic and hard-working farmers who are prepared to acquire the skills necessary to move the industry forward.

The Egg Group thanks its sponsors for their support:
