This special edition of EGG-NEWS is sponsored by Big Dutchman USA for the benefit of subscribers.  Current industry statistics, costs and prices confirm profitability in all categories extending from commodity through specialty eggs.  Major issues affecting the egg industry include: -

 

  • Delay in enacting a Farm Bill.
  • Turbulence in trade associated with threatened tariffs.
  • Initiatives to reduce the impact of California Proposition #12 with respect to supply states. 
  • A quiescent period with respect to Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza consistent with season.  There is growing sentiment for limited vaccination of replacement pullets and even hen flocks in high-risk areas with appropriate surveillance.
  • Stable to potentially lower feed ingredient costs.
  • Continued consumer demand with restoration of shelf prices after an unprecedented surge during the first quarter.  Benchmark U.S. wholesale prices are currently acceptable and provide a positive margin over production, packaging and distribution costs for all categories.
