At Eggoz we want to make a meaningful impact to improve the protein consumption of people by enriching the lives of the rural egg farmers. Rural egg farmers across the country, especially in northern states of India like MP, UP, Bihar where the temperature swings in extremes, have a major challenge in terms of keeping the production and quality intact with little or no access to modern technologies, good quality feed, veterinary advice and getting their eggs to a larger audience. Contaminated feeds or using feed like DDGS without any knowledge of their nutritive value can have an impact on egg production.  Technology is an integral part of farm operations with Eggoz. Data and real-time monitoring play an important role in identifying deviations early and optimizing bird performance for profitable business, for farmers. Farmers are on-boarded to a streamlined program where they receive technical and veterinarian advisory support. We believe in Happy Hens, Healthier Eggs! Eggoz purchases all the eggs produced with a guarantee and direct payments to their accounts. At Eggoz, we strive hard to onboard as many farmers as possible into egg farming and completely support them to grow their business. As far as the retail customers in the urban and semi-urban markets, the eggs that one consumed had only the date of packaging mentioned, with no clarity on when the eggs were laid. There is no mandatory requirement for these eggs to be packaged within a day or two or to be stored under proper storage conditions. The brand EGGOZ was born to solve the problem end to end to make sure the production of the egg farmers are packed, UV sanitized and brought to the retail stores within 1 day of laying, thereby completely preserving the nutritional value of the egg. Every Eggoz egg you buy is your solidarity to the farmers of rural India and a promise to yourself to consume eggs that are free of any bad stuff.
