THe KAT-Logo is mainly required by those producers seeling to the mainstream retail. So the number of henns is for the whole situation only an indicator of the present tendency but in this perpspective clearly talking: Only 8,4% locations for organic eggs, a good percentage of 20,3 % for free-range-eggs and the vast majority for cage-free eggs.

And we have to consider, that this way of egg-production is the cheapest possible.

In den typical mass-markets in Germany and Holland, whre the KAT-system is strong that there is low motavitation to push the eggs sales now to a level of higher quality. After – from the perspective of the consumer in mass market of shell-eggs, cage eggs officially have disappeared, is with the KAT-System, which has started to bring eggs to a higher level of quality no further motivation to influence the market to this tendency,With more than 70 % cage-free eggs are the new leading standard in this system. Burt we also have to consider that these statistics only show a tendency, not any national relität. Because in these figures the Netherlands play are more leading part, so were a even not able to deducts any valid point on an isolated german situation. We only see the tendency within the KAT-system, which once came up to abolish cage-eggs and to set trustful standards for the eggs in retail.
