Egg table: THE price of alternative eggs from all sources towards the conditioning centers continue to progress. Operators always report a supply lower than demand in all codes including organic. Cases of salmonella and, to a lesser extent, avian flu continue to complicate supplies.

The code 3 graded egg market is still quite lively, in particular by purchases from centers which seek to compensate for the lack of eggs from all sources. However, some operators still report lackluster orders for the season from wholesalers, particularly in Rungis, due to high prices.

Industry : This week, most exchangeseggs intended for breakers which were reported to us were batches under APDI due to salmonella. These eggs, which are not included in the quotation, give breathing space to manufacturers who accept them while the availability of category A eggs remains very limited. The rare Category A volumes reported to us were traded at rising prices, but the quote established today represents very weak trading. The lack of supply does not entirely explain this lack of trade. Manufacturers explain that they prefer not to deliver rather than sell at a loss. Their customers also prefer to postpone their purchases rather than pay for the egg product at this rate. Foreign origins remain little present because they are not very competitive. It seems likely that shipments from Spain will be significantly disrupted next week as the farmers' movement resumes, with certainly new border controls.
