Table egg sales in Ontario declined by about one per cent in 1988, but was offset by an increase of nearly two per cent in processor demand. Despite higher total egg consumption, Ontario surplus in- creased 10 per cent in 1988. Increasing demand in the food industry for processed egg product, together with higher surplus levels, has created con- siderable financial problems for CEMA and its surplus removal funds. Despite.a two per cent national quota cut (three per in Ontario) January 1, 1989, and levy increases totalling 21 cents over the year, producers face additional levy increases plus a further two per cent quota cut in August this year. Mr. Ellsworth explained that Ontario Board is concerned with these moves and believes that fundamental changes are needed to move eggs from the table market to the pro- cessing market in a more cost effective and efficient method. Given the growing pro- cessor demand, it is clear the system needs to be redesigned,otherwise under the pre- sent system levies will continue to escalate, he said.
