SEPRA Market Report - 24th July 2015

The market is quiet but eggs are finding a home, the opinion is that prices will start to go up starting with Medium which are fairly tight with good demand from caterers (must be a lot of people holidaying at home plus there seems to be more tourists this year) also all the big supermarkets are putting on special offers.
Aldi, an interesting piece of PR this week, also good news for their suppliers when they announced there would be no deductions for Late delivers, damage by customers and doing away with over riders, saying that the price negotiated by their suppliers would be what they get, (let’s hope this is catching)
AI it looks like DEFRA have done their stuff in containing, isolating and sterilising the confirmed case in Lancaster (fingers crossed) and there has been no major media pressure to panic consumers, for although demand is not brilliant there has been no big drop in consumption.
AI in the USA, with the major production areas being decimated they are talking of a 100% increase in retail prices and no eggs to export but this will be short lived as their industry is pretty organised.
