User Engagement

Data from the egg production statistics are an invaluable evidence base for policy makers, academics and researchers. The data is also heavily relied upon by representatives of the egg and poultry industry. The egg production data is used for egg production volumes and egg type, as these are key sector indicators for the British Egg Industry Council (BEIC) since they reflect the size of the national laying flock. The British Free Range Egg Producers Association also makes heavy use of our data as it indicates the size of the free-range sector.

As part of our ongoing commitment to compliance with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics we wish to strengthen our engagement with users of the egg production data and better understand the use made of them and the types of decisions that they inform. Consequently, we invite users to register as a user of the egg production data, so that we can retain your details and inform you of any new releases and provide you with the opportunity to take part in user engagement activities that we may run.  If you would like to register as a user of the egg production data, please provide your details in the attached form.
