Golden Yolk Project to Increase Domestic Egg Production

Public initiative in The Bahamas aimed at increasing domestic egg production, reducing dependence on imports and strengthening food security. As of 5 October 2026, the project had produced 200,000 eggs, had 10,000 laying hens in production and was raising approximately 8,000 pullets to expand future capacity. The intervention includes infrastructure for egg production and processing, including pullet facilities, layer houses and processing capacity. The Government seeks to establish a consistent supply of Bahamian-produced eggs for households and businesses, retain a larger share of food expenditure within the national economy and expand opportunities for farmers and agricultural businesses.
