History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 424440-01 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The "Eggs (Wholesale)" industry has a long history dating back to ancient times. The ancient Romans and Greeks were known to consume eggs, and the Chinese have been raising chickens for their eggs for over 2,000 years. In the United States, the industry began to take shape in the late 1800s when egg production became more commercialized. In the early 1900s, advancements in transportation and refrigeration allowed for eggs to be transported longer distances, leading to increased demand. In the mid-1900s, the industry faced challenges such as the spread of avian flu and the introduction of new regulations. However, the industry has continued to thrive and adapt to changing consumer preferences, such as the increased demand for organic and free-range eggs.
