3.1. Data description

Statistics on eggs for hatching and farmyard poultry chicks are collected under (market) Regulation (EC) No 617/2008. They are the earliest available information to foresee production of poultry meat and eggs, as the numbers of chicks of various utilities placed in the farms of each Member State, i.e. the number of chicks placed by the hatcheries of this Member State increased by the net import of chicks.

In Slovenia, data on hatcheries (including statistics on trade of chicks) is collected by Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for Agricultural Markets and Rural Development. Data is then sent to SURS (Statistical office of the Republic of Slovenia) and SURS then transmites data to Eurostat.

Small number of hatcheries represents problems due to confidentiality.
