During the past decade, both
total and per capita consump-
in production exceeded one
percent. The change in price
was leu than 2 percent in only
two of the ten years.
In all but three years the
price, when compared to a
year earlier, decreased when
supply increased, or, increased
when supply decreased. Prices
of other food products, as well
as many other factors, influ
enced the price of eggs.
Civilian consumption is de
termined by subtracting from
production: quantities export
ed, purchased for military use,
used for hatching, and stocks
of eggs on hand at the end
of the year. Eggs on hand at
ithe beginning of the year and
imports are added to produc
tion.
This year, because of the
sharp increase in chick hatch
plus subsequent quantity of
chicks raised for laying flock
replacements, one would ex
pect prices to average well be
low the same period a year
earlier. More layers, plus more
eggs per layer this fall and
winter, mean more eggs.
If the laying flock size on
the first of January is 2 to
3 percent larger than at the
beginning of 1966, and’pric
es respond to changes in sup
ply as they have in the past,
prices could average 10 to
