Besides export and import, fund attraction and allocation to industrial and production projects, pouresh investment development group   had a successful experience in importing full production line and machinery of shell egg, liquid and dried egg converting industry in East Azerbaijan provenience. This article explains our valuable experience about this lucrative industry.

Shell egg, liquid and dried converting industry is always a successful investment

Are you an Eggeterian ? If yes, you know that the egg price fluctuate in different seasons. For instance the egg price has downward trend in summer times regarding to excess supply and deterioration of eggs. Our solution is convert eggs to powder and liquid to hedge the price fluctuation and manage high season demand.

 Product Introduction

The gap time between production and consumption, incorrect consumption culture, inappropriate packaging and incorrect storage are the main reason of great food waste in our country. The consumption of pasteurized egg powder is one of the ways to reduce the waste of vital egg material. Eggs are made with great effort and high costs and high prices, and consumption fluctuations affect prices and waste. Allocation a small dried part of a warehouse and convert egg to egg powder enable us to make suitable profit during high seasons or export or production

Moreover, the ease of use of egg powder reduces shipping costs, labor wages and equipment for maintenance, washing, breaking, egg separation, and so on. However, the number of industrial units which concentrate in this production is confined to small number.

  Regarding to the long-term viability of this product and suitable domestic demand, its suitability for export markets. We expect a profitable investment.

• What are the project implementation requirements?

  In this section we discuss the construction of an egg powder production unit from an investment perspective and economic indicators.

  It is estimated to build a unit of egg white powder with a nominal capacity of 300 tons per year, egg yolk powder of a nominal capacity of 700 tons per year, and egg powder of a nominal capacity of 799 tons per year, at a cost of about 15 billion Toman. Its working capital is estimated around 4 billion Toman and 35% rate of return is expected.
