% Industry Is
Seen Competitive
In World Market
The International Trade
Commission was told in
Atlanta by’ United Egg
Producers that America’s
shell egg industry can
compete with any other free
world country, without
tariffs, provided govern
ments of other countries do
not subsidize production,
processing, or marketing of
eggs or fowl, and provided
the foreign producers are
subject to the same or
similar standards of
sanitation and inspection as
U.S. producers.

vestigating the possible
economic effect of reducing
or eliminating U.S. tariffs on
imported products. The
investigation is in
preparation for the up
coming round of in
ternational trade
negotiations. Hearings are
being held in 14 cities across
the United States.
“ America’s shell egg
industry does not view im
port tariffs as a vital form of
protection against the im
portation of shell eggs and
fowl from foreign coun-
tries,” Pedersen said. “At
the present time, U.S. egg
producers could easily
compete at home and in
international trade if all
Owners
countries practiced the tame
free market lyatcm as the
one In which we daily par*
tlcipate within the borders of
the United States.”
Pedersen cautioned,
however, that there are
numerous government and
quasi-government programs
operative worldwide to
protect home production and
eliminate competition from
the U.S. fanners. He also
noted that the rapidity with
which the American dollar
has been devalued and the
emergency of a new world
economy, the egg industry’s
competitive advantage
gained through efficiency in
production may not continue
forever.
A detailed account of in
ternational trade problems
faced by the egg industry in
recent years which did not
involve tariffs were
presented to the Commission
by Pedersen. The first,
related the producers’
dilemma of competing for
feed supplies in the world
market which included
competition from foreign
governments. Pedersen said
that in June 1973 Spanish egg
producers were obtaining
U.S. soybean meal through -
their government at $125 per
ton while U.S. producers
were having to pay the world
price of $359 per ton. The
second example illustrated
the Canadian egg producer
marketing boards and their
sales of surplus eggs in the
U.S. market. U.E.P.
estimated the Canadian
sales in the U.S. caused $45.6
million damage to the
domestic market.
“I cite these examples to
illustrate to this Commission
that apparently there are
means of negating the effect
of the established tariff
schedules without violating

Pedersen stated.
“Obviously, U.S. egg
producers cannot participate
in international trade
against Spanish egg
producers who are obtaining
their feed supplies from their
government at drastically
i reduced (subsidized)
/prices,’’ he continued.
“When this scheme is
practiced, U.S. producers
need the established tariffs
to protect against the im
portation of eggs from these
producers."
“Neither can our
producers participate in
international trade where
groups of farmers are
allowed to set minimum
retail prices at home which
cover the costs of losses
sustained in international
trade,” Pedersen stated.
“The 3.5 cents per dozen
tarriff is of little con
sequence to such- export
programs.”
Pedersen concluded his
statement by reiterating the
egg industry would be
willing to practice free
market world trade. “But,”
he added, “we question
whether such a utopia - free
market international trade -
can truly be accomplished.”
