The study was undertaken to analyze the marketing system of commer-cially produced eggs, estimate cost and margin of egg traders in some selectedareas of Mymensingh district in Bangladesh in 2018. Sixty (60) respondents were selected as total sample size where 19 were layer farm owner and 48 were egg traders. Two Upazila of Mymensingh district (Mymensingh Sadar and Trishal) were selected based on the production concentration and marketing. Two villages from each Upazila were selected for survey and data were collect-ed from the traders for the study. Five different channels were identified accord-ing to present egg marketing system. The average grossreturn of bepari, whole-saler and retailer for 100 eggs are found Tk. 26.67, Tk. 31.82 and Tk. 37.14, respectively. The average cost of bepari, wholesaler and retailer for 100 eggs were found Tk.11.41, Tk.13.54 and Tk.15.78, respectively.
