The Egg Farmers of Ontario has reduced egg prices by 14 cents a dozen reflecting lower production costs and a special quota increase, but Burnbrae Farms has hiked its price by 10 cents in mid-March and intends to add a four-cents increase June 11.
The Toronto Star reports it has seen Burnbrae’s notice of the upcoming price increase.
In the past, Grayridge and Burnbrae have adjusted their prices at the same time by the same amount.
Together they handle about 90 per cent of Ontario’s eggs.
So why doesn't the Competition Bureau or the House of Commons Agriculture Committee or the Ontario Farm Products Marketing
Commission launch an inquiry into the egg-grading cartel?
