APPENDIX 1: MEMBER STATE REPORTSThis general trend does mask differences according to system. Whilst structural change in the cagedsector is increasing consolidation, the growth in alternative systems is applying pressure the otherway as alternative systems are typically of a much smaller scale than caged systems. This can bereadily appreciated by considering data on the 261 producers contracted to Deans. Figure A1.83shows the significant difference in scale between caged production and alternative systems,particularly free range and organic.100%90%80%Percentage of flocks contracted to Deans70%60%50%40%30%20%10%0%Cage Free Range Barn Organic Total0-24,999 25,000-49,999 50,000-99,999 100,000-249,999 250,000-499,999 500,000-999,999 1,000,000+Figure A1.83: Production size classes for Deans producers (2003)Source: Deans Foods Limited and Agra CEAS Consulting calculations.Data from Deans is considered to be representative of the commercial sector in the UK as Deansaccount for a significant percentage of total eggs packed and also illustrates some other useful points:314whilst 50% of the laying hens held by Deans contracted producers are in caged systems, theseaccount for just 5% of total producers with an average flock size of 374,500;84% of producers operate a free range system and these account for 35% of total layers at anaverage flock size of 14,437 laying hens; the average flock size in barn systems is 48,034 and that in organic systems 14,046; just over three quarter (77%) of producers contracted to Deans have only free range flocks; 11%have only organic flocks; 3% only barn flocks and 2% only caged flocks. The remaining 7% havemixtures, most commonly free range and barn followed by free range and organic and then bycage and free range.Whilst the majority of commercial caged egg production in the UK is carried out by specialistproducers, or at least producers for whom the egg enterprise is the most important economically,
APPENDIX 1: MEMBER STATE REPORTSproducers using alternative systems are more diversified. In the case of free range producers otherenterprises are typically grass-based livestock, although the egg enterprise is usually very importanteconomically.The way in which the industry works differs according to company. By way of illustration, Deanscontracts around three quarters of its eggs from independent producers who are on one of twotypes of contract:1. Deans supply the pullet and the feed and remove the bird at end of lay. The producer receivesmarket price for eggs, although Deans guarantee a minimum price.2. Market price is paid for eggs and producers are free to source pullets and feed from a listapproved by DeansThe remaining supply of eggs is sourced from farms owned by Deans. Stonegate operate similarcontracts, but own a smaller proportion of production facilities. As well as packing centrally,Stonegate also have a number of farm packing stations serving the retail economy egg lines. Thissaves double handling costs, some transport costs and reduces on losses through weight profiles asthese packs contain a minimum weight of eggs rather than grading into different size categories.A1.15.2.1. Main producers/packersThe main egg packer in the UK is Deans Foods Ltd who represent around one third of total eggspacked. Stonegate contribute approximately a further 15%. These companies are profiled in BoxA1.29 and Box A1.30.Box A1.29: Profile of Deans Foods Ltd (figures are for the whole group, including theprocessing division)Deans is the largest egg packer in the UK accounting for around 40% of all eggs packedOwnership: Limited companyTurnover: approximately £250 million in 2003 (€375 million @ £1 = €1.5)Profit: approximately £6 million in 2003 (€9 million @ £1 = €1.5)Employment: 2,250 (1,340 are employed in packing and on owned farms)Main markets: domestic retailers. A small proportion of shell eggs are used in the cateringsector315
