In 2017, egg price in China has experienced a lot of ups and downs, which has had a significant impact on the laying hen farmers and the enterprises and related enterprises. In the first half of 2017, egg price fell, which has dropped to a minimum of 4.02 yuan/kg, while the profits of egg producers were impaired and the profit of egg processing enterprises declined. Starting in July, egg price recovered, breaking a price of 5 yuan/kg. Egg price rose sharply in August, reaching an average of 8.53 yuan/kg. In October, egg price began to fall, with a price of 7 yuan/kg. In November, egg price began to rise, rising to 8 yuan/kg. The sudden drop of egg price greatly affects the income and culture psychology of laying hen farmers, and influences the development of the egg industry. This study is aimed at egg price and egg price fluctuations in 2017, and get two conclusions: From January to July, due to the amount of laying hens breeding, breeding cost, information technology and the government’s environmental protection policy and terminal weak consumer spending, egg price fell sharply; egg price rebounded in August and December, and the highest price was in September and gradually steadied. At the same time, this paper analyzes the causes of egg price fluctuation from two aspects of supply and demand, and puts forward some suggestions on how to deal with the price fluctuations from the two aspects of enterprise and laying hen breeding farmers.

Problem Description: China is one of the major countries in the world of laying hens. However, compared with the United States and the European Union, the production efficiency of laying hens in China still lags far behind. Objectives: To guide the farmers to improve the effiency of laying hens breeding, we use the survey data to analysis the effiency and give advice. Methodology: This paper uses field survey data from five provinces to measure the technical efficiency of laying hens through DEA model. Key Findings: The results show that the average technical efficiency of survey households is 95.411%. Through the analysis, we found that layer chicken production technology in Hebei province is the highest, Liaoning province layer chicken production efficiency is the lowest. Implications: In the overall layout of laying hens breeding, the laying hens industry development should vigorously promote the rationalization of regional layout, give full play to regional advantages, and promote the development of laying hens industry.
