The market is almost empty and that is before the Christmas demand really kicks in, marketeers whether mega or small are scouring the country for eggs, particularly Free Range.
As an example note Central Egg showing no change for Free Range, answer they have none.
On the Continent they are moving into a fairly severe shortage, producers over there have been losing money for a while, the banks and financial organisations are not allowing finance for new pullets.
This is a dangerous situation over there and potentially here, if banks are red lining finance for next year’s stock and modernisation, only the big and efficient can survive, but in the short time it creates shortage.
This cold wet and windy weather does give encouragement for comfort food; eggs come into this category and with all the special offers in the supermarkets demand is picking up.
