NWES needs about 3% of a R1.2bn catchment market: a share won through service, not by displacing a national brand

Layer How it is derived Volume Value
TAM: SA table eggs ~27m hens x ~300 eggs a year at ~R24 a dozen producer value ~680m dozen ~R16bn
SAM: 150 km catchment ~3.8m people (Dr Kenneth Kaunda, West Rand, Sedibeng, Fezile Dabi) x ~150 eggs a head ~47m dozen ~R1.2bn
SOM: NWES at full flock 60,000 hens x 85% hen-day x 97% first grade (bottom-up from capacity) 1.45m dozen ~R36m
