This paper reports the results of survey on chicken meat production and marketing in selected Asian countries representing developing (India, Bangladesh, Pakistan), rapid developing (Thailand, Philippine, Iran), and developed nations (Japan, Taiwan, Rep. of Korea) in the region. This survey was done during 1994-1995, coordinated with Asian Productivity Organization (APO). Subsequently the meat production and marketing symposium was held in Tokyo which was attended by those foreign experts participated during the survey. The survey covered all the aspects of poultry industry which included chicken, ducks, geese and quails. The survey data obtained from 1970 to 1993 concerning poultry industry was used. The primary objective is to describe poultry consumption and production patterns. The outlook for the poultry industry is promising. In the past 20 years consumption of chicken meat has increased dramatically in these nations. Consumption of chicken meat will continue to increase as estimated income elasticities for chicken meat indicate a latent demand for this meat comparative to other types of meats. In the coming years this increase will continue, although at a slower pace. In the less developed countries in the region, consumption and production will increase quicker than developed countries.
The purpose of this study is to clarify the effect and role of egg products on shell egg price in USA. In order to do it, the econometric model by Nagaki and USDA "Poultry Yearbook" was utilized. The background of this study is as following: Under the trend of changing the commodity style of egg and increasing egg products share in Japan, regarding the market in USA as a front type which this trend is already typical, and discuss the development of egg pricing in Japan, utilizing egg pricing model including egg products. For example, SUGIYAMA (1993) indicated that the egg consumption in every country has a shift of table eggs or shell eggs in which cracked egg market both in export and domestic has expanded and the products share has reached 35-40%. Particularly, this trend in USA is typical of many countries. The motive of this study which is based on the actual condition such as the above mentioned, is as following: Firstly, to analyze the relationship between table eggs and processed eggs, in other words, the shell egg market and the egg products market, including as the interrelationship between them. Secondly, what effects the price formation for processed agricultural commodities. Thirdly, what considerations the development of market structure under increasing egg products share. The result was that egg products is a definite factor on the shell egg price. Market participants indicate that egg products achieve a function as price stabilizer, in other words, a buffer in the egg market, however the framework of this analysis is not a result to refer to it directly. We must recognize the limitation of this model, however we can consider that effect of egg products will be more important in shell egg pricing, unifying with the result of estimation and existing state of things.
