As living standards have been improved, consumption of chickens has risen to 1 million a week, and eggs to 100 a person per year. Both figures are more than four times those of 20 years ago.
國內雞肉和雞蛋的消耗量一直在增加之中，一方面因為雞數增加，雞價大眾化；一方面因為國民生活水準的提高，按去（六十八）年的統計，全台雞肉消耗量每周達一百多萬隻，全台雞蛋消耗量達一個人一年一百多個，比二十年前增加了至少四倍。
