Wholesale egg prices under cost of production
28 Oct 2005
An egg price war in South Australia has cut prices at some retailers to as low as $1 a dozen. Local producers fear they will be unable to service, with the wholesale price they receive recently falling to as low as 62 cents a dozen. Shoppers in eastern states pay more than $4 for a dozen eggs. Big supermarket chains are holding prices at around $2.60 a dozen. Major players in the industry, such as Queensland's Sunny Queen Farms and Pace Farm in NSW, are jockeying to become the nation's biggest egg supplier.
