Abstract India was the third-largest producer of eggs, with 122.04 million productions in 2020-21. About 75% of eggs are produced on commercial poultry farms, with the remaining 25% originating from backyard or household poultry. The protein rich poultry products depend on protein rich poultry feeds. The feeds were produces by animal and plant sources, of which plant sources is more cost effective and which is available plenty in rural areas. In India’s rural population’s socioeconomic existence, animal products are quite important. This study was carried out to learn more about the growth and instability in egg production in India and the growth, instability and trade direction in export of poultry products from India. The Compound growth rate used to study the growth, Cuddy Della Valley Index used for instability assessment and to determine the gains and losses of the poultry products by importing nations among themselves during the period, a transitional probability matrix (Markov Chain) was utilised. The high positive growth recorded in Telangana and lowest in Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Punjab were non-significant in growth of egg production. Telangana highlights the instability in egg production as a result of the short-lived state breakup. Maldives has high positive growth in terms of quantity and value export of poultry products. Low instability found in Oman(quantity) and Bahrain(value). The trade direction on poultry products export found that Afghanistan has high retention in quantity terms and Oman retains was high in the value terms.
