April Eggs Market Outlook From New York Storage Losses
New York dispatch analyzes last season's egg storage losses in Greater New York and Jersey City. It estimates 900,000 cases stored at about 20 cents a dozen, with losses near 60 cents per case for 27 million dozen eggs, totaling roughly $540,000 to holders. The piece projects a 16 to 18 cent April seaboard price with potential for higher costs if conditions repeat. It predicts a 12 to 14 cent Chicago to seaboard basis may hold, urging prices that sustain consumer demand and storage viability.
