(StaffPttoto) 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.
