At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them. 1988 will present tough decisions for egg industry "This year ahead will be one of tough deci- sions for the egg industry," according to On- tario Egg Producers' Marketing Board Chairman, Bill Scott of Seaforth. In addressing the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Board, Mr. Scott told an audience of 300 the issues of trade, matching supply with de- mand, animal rights, and quota could have important consequences for producers, in- dustry and consumers alike. While the supply management system has been retained under the Canada- U.S. trade agreement, the Canadian egg sector has a number of concerns over the details of this agreement. Mr. Scott listed these concerns as, "who will get the increased global import quota and how will it be controlled; the effect of Tariff removal on the viability of further processing in Canada; and the continued operation of our surplus removal program." The. Ontario Egg Board supports the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency (C.E.M.A.) in their request for 'sole im- porter' status and for the addition of further processed egg products on the Import Con- trol List — something that has been granted to the Dairy industry, he added. Of more immediate concern is the in- crease in Canadian surplus and the need to better match supply with provincial demand. An increase of nearly 15 percent in 1987 surplus at the national level coupled with declining Canadian consumption will pro- mpt the C.E.M.A. to consider a quota cut for the coming year. This raises serious im- plications in Ontario where 1987 consump- tion is up over 1986 and where surplus is below the national average. Frequent specialling of large sized eggs by Ontario retailers has created strong de- mand, requiring the importation of addi- tional eggs in Ontario. In the past this de- mand was met with U.S. imports which have been increasing steadily since 1983. In 1987, C.E.M.A. began subsidizing the move - ment of ungraded Manitoba eggs in Ontario, tion and offers producers the expertise of In addition, the Ontario Board is working on their poultry.speciallst. incentives to increase the usage of mediums In presenting his review of the past year, by retailers.

However, a more permanent solution of this problem must be found, and according to Mr. Scott "in the long term, a method of moving quota between provinces will have to be developed". A comprehensive study of quota values, commissioned by the Board in 1986, has been completed by the University of Guelph. This analysis which is now being finalized, together with various other government studies should form a solid basis for discus- sion and consideration in the coming months. The issue of animal rights is recognized by the Board to be one of serious conse- quences. To this end, the Board is actively involved at a number of levels in addressing these concerns. Review of the Poultry Code of Practise, implementation of a Barn Stan- dards Inspection Program, producer infor- mation, and public education are all ex- amples of the initiatives taken by the Board over the past year. In addition, the Board continues to fund research into egg produc- Prices to producers, fluctuated within a narrow range of 93-96 cents over the year. Ontario gradings showed very little in- crease over 1986. According to Mr. Ellsworth, Ontario would have shown a decrease had it not been necessary to move 250,000 boxes of Manitoba eggs into Ontario. A significant decline in U.S. imports for the year and increased Ontario consumption, was the good news for producers. The Board is concerned with the growing pressures on the Ontario egg industry. Government support is necessary in finding solutions to these concerns and in showing the fairness of supply management. Mr. Ellsworth added, "committee men and directors must be prepared to accept some changes in our system that are acceptable not only to producers, but all segments of the industry and government". Mr. Scott concluded that "the coming year will pre- sent some tough decisions for the Board, and in the industry as a whole. These deci- sions will be made with the future in mind."
