Podcast: Lionello (Eurovo Group), we invest, but competitiveness must be protected

The egg supply chain in Italy is worth 3,7 billion euros, with a production of 12,5 billion eggs per year, and covers 93,5% of national demand. Although an increase in the number of birds in production is under way, Ismea data from 2025 show domestic demand growing faster than supply, respectively +4,4% versus +0,4%, resulting in an increase in imports. 

On the occasion of World Egg Day 2026, Gruppo Eurovo, as an actor embracing all stages of the supply chain, from farming to marketing,  draws attention to the positive aspects and the uncertainties weighing on the sector:  avian flu is far from being resolved; moreover,  the production chain is being asked to invest in animal welfare, biosecurity and innovation. However, this commitment does not receive a corresponding response in terms of protecting competitiveness vis-à-vis non-EU countries through an equal extension of the principle of reciprocity.

We then focused on the future projects of the Group Eurovo  with the commercial and marketing director Federico Lionello.
