APPENDIX 1: MEMBER STATE REPORTSA1.14.3.3. Trade in egg productsKällbergs export around half their production and Sweden imports processed egg in both liquid anddried form.A1.14.4. Egg marketsA1.14.4.1. Primary demandSweden produced 99,525 tonnes of eggs in 2003. After imports of 19,838 tonnes and exports of10,137 tonnes, 109,226 tonnes remained. Based on the proportions of eggs packed by system (seeSection A1.14.2.3), 26% of these would have been from traditional cages, 24% from enriched cages,44% from barn systems and the balance, 6%, from organic production. The majority of barn andorganic eggs would have been sold in shell in the retail sector with a small proportion entering thedifferentiated processed egg product market. It is not thought that eggs from alternative systemsenter the food service sector in significant numbers.A1.14.4.2. PricesFigure A1.78 shows the evolution of egg prices in Sweden between 1995 and 2003 and compares thisto average EU prices. The initial gap between Swedish and EU prices narrowed following accession,only to increase subsequently. The percentage difference between average prices in Sweden and theEU is shown in (Figure A1.79). Swedish average prices have been an average of 33% higher than theEU average since Sweden joined the community. The impact of the increase in Swedish prices in2003 resulting from the restricted supply of caged eggs can be clearly seen (the increase in EU priceis most likely to be due to the Dutch Avian Influenza outbreak).305
