The Louisiana Egg Commission strives to educate consumers of all ages on the nutritional value of the egg and egg products.  The Commission also approves and issues licenses to entities engaged in egg production and wholesale, and upholds and regulates all rules of the Commission. 

The Egg Commission derives its funding from an assessment fee on each case of eggs and egg products produced and processed in the state of Louisiana.  Assessment fees are also collected on all out of state eggs and egg products that are distributed into Louisiana. 

The Egg Commission has two large radio promotions; one radio promotion is aired two weeks before Easter, and the other radio promotion is aired two weeks before Christmas. 

Other promotions are done when the opportunity arises and the Commission thinks the exposure will be of benefit.
