Reasons for the Production Increase:
The tripling was made possible by a recovery from a challenging period, when egg production fell sharply in 2024 due to an avian influenza outbreak at the Bashkirskaya poultry farm in the Ufa district. This farm, one of the largest in the region, was forced to suspend operations, which negatively impacted overall performance. In 2023, Bashkirskaya produced 458 million eggs, but in 2024, this figure fell to 70 million. Production began to recover in August 2024, and the farm planned to produce 550 million eggs in 2025 , with the goal of reaching full capacity in 2026, with a forecast of over 800 million.
December surge:
Particularly impressive results were achieved in December 2025, when 83.5 million eggs were produced in the republic. This figure is 2.5 times higher than the December 2024 figures, demonstrating a stable recovery and growth in the sector.
Comparison with other regions:
In the Volga Federal District, egg production also showed positive dynamics, increasing by 12.1% to reach 10.7 billion eggs. The leading producers were Mordovia with 1.5 billion eggs, Perm Krai with 1.4 billion, and Tatarstan with 1.3 billion. The smallest number of eggs was produced in the Penza Region —only 197 million.
General trends in the country:
Nationally, egg production increased by 6.1% in 2025, reaching 40.4 billion eggs compared to 38.1 billion in 2024. This growth is also due to recovery measures in other regions and increased demand for eggs as an essential food product.
Prospects and Plans:
Given current trends and production growth, Bashkortostan has every opportunity to strengthen its position in the agricultural sector. Importantly, the restoration of the Bashkirskaya poultry farm and other production facilities will not only meet domestic demand but also potentially initiate exports.
Furthermore, the republic's agricultural authorities plan to introduce modern technologies and improve poultry welfare, which could further enhance production efficiency. It is also important to consider that increased egg production will contribute to the creation of new jobs and the development of related industries, such as processing and logistics.
In conclusion, 2025 has become a landmark year for egg production in Bashkortostan, and given all the measures taken and future plans, the republic has every opportunity for further growth and development in this key agricultural sector.
