Egg shells are actually one of the best food items you can compost, because they add essential minerals and nutrients that are great for plant growth.
The local egg industry is in a crisis, with SA's largest poultry body warning its products are not moving off shelves as lower-income consumers battle to afford even the cheapest forms of animal protein. And with farmers struggling to pass on soaring feed and electricity costs to already cash-strapped customers, smaller egg producers are opting to exit the industry. The South African Poultry Association estimates that about 10% of the approximately 200 smaller farmers had shut up shop in the past six months.
Dr Abongile Balarane, general manager: egg organisation for SAPA, told News24 the industry was definitely in a crisis, but he hopes to see some recovery in the next few months as the rising cost other forms of animal protein, such as beef, pushes more consumers to return to eggs.Get 14 days free to read all our investigative and in-depth journalism.
