Whelan tries to clear up
misconceptions about eggs
Everyone seems to have an
opinion about egg marketing but
some basic facts are being
ignored.
This is what Agriculture
Minister Eugene Whelan said
recently.
He listed a " series of miston-
ceptions, and offered facts to
contradict these opinions.
Misconception: egg prices are
too high.
Fact: egg prices are lower than
general food prices or prices for
all commodities, within ,the'
Consumer Price Index. The egg
price index for July stood at 148.6
for -Grade A large eggs 'at the
retail level, compared with 190.2
for all food items and with 168 for
the overall Consumer, Price
Index.
Misconception: egg prices
have not tome down from 1973
highs.
Fact: eggs are one of the very
few commodities in our economy
which have come down in price
since January. 'Egg prices have
come down by six per cent at a
time when food prices in general
rose by simper cent..The index for,
eggs dropped from 1510 In
Jainuary1tai421846) in Ju13t anutingt;
the same period, •the Constuner
Price .Index rose from 157.6 to
168.
Misconception: egg ,prices
have risen at an abnormally fast
rate.
Fact: prices rose in 1973, but
the price increase was brought on
by shortages caused by
producers being driven out- of
business by extremely low 1971
and 1972 prices. In 1971, producer
prices for Grade ,A large
averaged only, 25.3cents per
dozen, the lowest price in 20
years. In 1973, prices averaged
32.2 cents per dozen, and prices
were only lower than that twice in
20 years.
Misconception: the Canadian
Egg Marketing Agency (CEMA)
has not made management and
administrative improvements,
Fact: administrative mistakes
have been made in the
management of the national egg
marketing plan. This is, however,
the first agency of its type.
Corrective actions have been
taken each time that problems
have arisen, some dating back to
well before the issuance of the
January report of the Food
Prices Review Board. More
specifically, egg prices have been
reduced, a complete review of
operations of the national agency
and provincial marketing boards
has been undertaken,-5nd
provincial supply programs are
being overhauled.
Misconception: the federal
government has paid $i0 million
to "bail out" CEMA.
Fact: the federal government
has bought about $1,300,000 worth
ofprocessed egg products. Prices
paid ranged from 25 to 28 cents
per dozen on a fresh egg
equivalent basis. The purchases
were made for the World Food
Program, out of the regular
budget of the WFP, and only after
it was determined that the WFP
had a use for the products. The
amount purchased is equivalent
to about 40 million shell eggs, or
about one per cent of total annual
Canadian egg production.
Misconception : the regrettable
.01/01001/1/1~41
destruction of eggs due to quality
loss in storage will be a "cost" to
consumers.
Pact: these eggs were OWned
by producers, and had quality
been maintained, the returns
from their sale would have gone
to producers. This is their less,
and not an increase in price to
consumers.
Misconception: if too many
eggs are being produced, it is
easy to cut back production:
.Fact: production decisions are
made many months in advance -of
the actual production date. Once
hens are in production, cutbacks
can represent severe losses to
producers as hens that are worth
$2.50 to $3.00 as layers are worth
only 20' to 30 cents as salvage.
Misconception: consumers are
being forced to pay the price for
the loss in market price for eggs
that are removed from the fresh
egg market and diverted to
processing.
Fact: the producers absorb the
loss in market price. To the ex-
tent that consumers pay
"higher" prices for fresh eggs
because of surplus ,removal
programs, they pay lower prices
for processed eggs, which are
usdd to produce bakery prodUcts,
etc. Producer prices' .cannot be
set "too" high, because imports
or other foods will replace
Canadian fresh eggs. Over the
long term, producer prices
cannot be set too low, or
producers will be unable to
maintain production. This 18 a
