Egg processingIt is estimated that some 45% of overall supplies (on average between 15-25% of domesticproduction) is sold to processors. The greater part of this surplus is accounted for by eggs fromalternative production systems where there appears to have been substantial (partially governmentsupported) over-investment since 1995. The level of surplus is variable with production being gearedto the two annual peaks in usage at Christmas and Easter (at Easter demand rises 30% above theaverage for the year as a whole). Since production is largely inflexible (although there is some effortto introduce new hens with higher productivity) just before Easter, means that demand is heavilydependent on tourist arrivals both in the winter (often weather dependent) and summer (when inany case fewer eggs are eaten).111
