The days of ‘ * simply concentrating
on what is going on in the cages are
over” if egg producers want to
remain profitable, according to
John Schwartz, Lancaster County
extension director.
And smaller businesses can be
competitive if they concentrate on
the importance of the “people that
make up this industiy,” he said.
Schwartz spoke to 24 producers
and agri-industry representatives
on Monday at a Penn-State spon
sored poultry health and manage
ment meeting at Kreider’s
Restaurant.
Between 1990-1993, Pennsyl
vania’s egg production grew at a
SI percent rate, mostly because of
producers who concentrated on
improving production. If that same
growth would continue, by the
year 2000, there were would be
more than 6 billion eggs produced
by the layer houses in the state with
21 million hens, according to
Schwartz.
But consumers’ insistence on
quality will rule. And producers
most focus on producing not only a
quality product, but a consistent
one.

“The consumer wants to buy
today what they bought two weeks
ago,” said Schwartz. He said that
consumers want a consistent pro
duct that is dependable includ
ing eggs in die size range they want
at the least cost
Producers could do a lot more to
market their product and seek out
and develop new markets. In the
Midwest there arc seven or eight
available markets for egg pro
ducts, where in the East there are
few.
Schwartz gleaned these conclu
sions by doing an informal study of
producers and agri-industry rep
resentatives at the recent Northeast
Poultry Show, by reading trade
publications, and through his own
personal experience in the
industry.
“I’m not a prophet and I’m not
going to pretend to be a prophet”
he said. Many of these conclusions
are the result of personal preju-

cides and through his job, which
supports the egg industry, he
indicated.
Schwartz said that the industry
is a growing one, but with different
rates of growth.
The focus for producers must be
on the employees and the people
who make a difference. Compa
nies with the right attitude that
strive to keep costs down, product
quality high, and hold onto quality
employees will successfully
adapt to consumer changes.
“The producer of tomorrow
will have to be a better marketer”
to survive, according to Schwartz.
Contractors must learn to think
more like business owners and act
as marketers and educators.
Most of all, “people make
things work,” said Schwartz.
That, combined with a quality pro
duct, makes Pennsylvania success
ful as an egg producer on a national
level.
