Producers’ proposal to establish
a multi-million dollar egg
promotion and advertising fund,
according to Jerry Bookey,
President of U.E.P.
“We have gained the
assurances of seven of the larger
carton manufacturers that they
would cooperate by contributing
50c per 1,000 cartons sold after
December 1,” Bookey stated. “If
all companies participate in this
self-help program, ap
proximately $2 million annually
would be made available for
advertising and promotion of
eggs ”
The carton contribution
program was proposed by U.E.P.
to bolster the egg industry’s place
in the market, Bookey said.
U.E.P. has always supported
promotion of eggs by supporting
Poultry and Egg National Board.
A large portion of PENB’s budget
comes from U.E.P. and its
regional members, Bookey
noted.
“We hope to form a closer
alignment with PENB in the
future,” Bookej continued.
“Funds from the carton
manufacturers will be sent to a
trust fund and will be forwarded
to the promotion organization on
a monthly basis.”
Bookey said U E.P is now
seeking the best qualified man
available to head advertising and
promotion He said it was the egg
industry’s desire to have the
organization handling the ad
vertising and promotion program
closely coordinated with U E P
to maximize benefits of
promotion
The UE P President en
couraged other allied industries
to follow the carton manufac
turers example by contributing to
the special fund. He noted that
such contributions help all in
volved in the shell egg industry
by improving the image of eggs

Away-from-home Meals
Boost Farmers' Income
A growing share of the food
produced on U. S. farms never
sees the inside of a home kitchen.
USDA’s Economic Research
Service reports away-from-home
eating ate up 30 cents of every
dollar spent on farm foods last
year-5 cents more than in 1963.
Total expenditures for U. S.
farm foods in ’7l came to $lll
billion. The away-from-home
market-public eating places and
institutions-claimed $33.7 billion
and the at-home market, $77.4
billion.
Public eating establishments,
distinct from institutions, are
which compete with other foods
in the market.

special fund include: Diamond
National Corp., Dolco Packaging

mainly operated for profit
restaurants, cafeterias, snack
bars, vending machine outlets,
etc. These places in ’7l accounted
for $25 billion of expenditures for
U. S. farm foods, or 74 percent of
the away-from-home market.
Institutions include schools,
colleges, hospitals, rest homes
and nursing homes, and airlines.
They served food valued at $8.7
billion in 1971-
Away-from-home eating has
not only been carving a larger
slice of total food expenditures,
it’s also been taking a bigger
share of the farm value of these
foods.

represented 80 percent of total U.
S. farm value ($35.8 billion);
public eating places, 15.6 per
cent; and institutions, 4.4 per
cent.
However, the farm value of
food consumed away from home
increased 75 percent during 1963-
71. The at-home farm value in
creased less than 50 percent in
this period.
The marketing charge for U. S.
farm foods consumed away
from-home was $26.5 billion in
1971, or 35 percent of the total cost
of marketing all farm foods ($75.3
billion). The at-home marketing
charge was $48.8 billion, or 65
percent of the total. Marketing
charges per unit of product are
greater in the away-from-home
market because of the additional
services involved.
