The Canadian Egg and Poultry Processors Council and Egg
Farmers of Canada have finally reached a deal on pricing eggs for breakers.
The details have not been made public, but there apparently
are premiums for four categories as part of the new deal.
These eggs have been priced to track the U.S. market in an
effort to keep food companies that buy processed eggs and egg products
competitive with suppliers in the U.S.
The egg marketing board withdrew its complaint to the Farm
Products Council of Canada when the pricing agreement was reached. The council
asked the two sides to continue negotiating rather than handling the issue
through a hearing and council decision.
