| Active Comparator: Social Marketing Campaign Select egg hubs will receive social marketing campaign which aims to raise awareness about the benefits of eggs - 'why eggs': increasing the value of eggs from a consumer perspective and encourage consumption of eggs by children (<5yrs) and pregnant/lactating women. |
Other: Social Marketing Campaign
