Egg prices dip Prices paid to egg producers for Grade A • large dropped one cent a dozen, the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency (CEMA l announced. Despite the crippling drought this summer in parts of Western Canada, and wet weather conditions now hampering the fall harvest, feed costs are dropping, bringing down egg prices along with them. Grain prices in Canada are largely determined by prices in world markets. Bumper harvests in the United States, the world's largest grain producer, have put downward pressure on feed prices here in Canada, the agency explained. CE11 A uses a cost of production formula to determine prices paid to egg producers. Any change in the cost of producing a dozen eggs is reflected in the price. With the one -cent decrease in October, egg prices across the. country are now seven to nine cents lower than a year ago. The producer -run agency adjusts egg prices at the beginning of each month. The agency reports any changes in the price to the federal National Farm Products Marketing Council prior to its public announcement. Egg prices paid by consumers are set by wholesalers and retailers.
