Association of poultry farmers in India
The National Egg Co-ordination Committee (NECC) is a Non-Governmental Public Charitable Trust established by Dr. B.V. Rao In May 1982 for the welfare of poultry farmers in India[3]. The trust claims to have more than 35,000 members[3]. It publishes daily and monthly average egg prices for various production centers.[4] These prices serve as indicative benchmarks but are not legally binding.
The NECC’s role in the Indian egg industry mainly focuses on egg pricing, an effort that includes the following:[5]
- Determining egg prices based on a fair return for farmers, a decent margin for middlemen, and a reasonable cost for customers.[6]
- Monitoring, managing, and regulating the stocks from surplus regions to deficit regions.
- Market intervention through Agrocorpex India Limited.
- Having a network of marketers who utilize multi-level marketing to sell the products.
- Promoting egg trade, egg farms, and egg exports.
- Making technology and information available to increase egg production.
The Indian poultry industry suffered a series of crises in the early 1980s, since the selling price had dropped below production costs.[7][8] Many poultry farmers shut down operations due to heavy losses. A group of farmers motivated by B. V. Rao and Jagapati Rao traveled across the country organizing over 300 meetings with groups, individuals, and traders. Their objective was to unite poultry farmers from all over India. In May 1982, the NECC was formally registered as a trust under the Indian Societies Registration Act and on May 14, 1982, the NECC started declaring egg prices.[9]
