The
marketing and research body, Australian Eggs is asking the
Department of Agriculture to allow it to broaden activities by undertaking industry representation-activities currently provided by
Egg Farmers of Australia.
It says the key benefit of
Australian Eggs taking over industry representation would be secure funding for policy development and advocacy through
marketing levies on replacement chicks. It
says the organisation’s primary focus will remain research and
development.
Egg farmers need to say if they think the
change is
a good idea. An electronic poll of levy-paying egg producers will be
conducted in early December to gauge opinions.
