Alberta Sees No Intention Of Stopping Manitoba Eggs
Alberta egg board secretary manager Dave Guichon says Alberta will not block Manitoba eggs, despite BC seizing 56,260 dozen Manitoba eggs from Trail area stores. He notes imports from Manitoba and Saskatchewan into Alberta affect marketing, with prices only marginally lower. Producers receive about 53 cents a dozen for Grade A large eggs, costs rising with feed prices and handling. A national marketing board is being formed to stabilize prices nationwide, while Alberta faces seasonal excess and quota disruption.
