APPENDIX 1: MEMBER STATE REPORTSBox A1.30: Profile of Stonegate (figures include the processing division)Stonegate is the second largest egg packer in the UK accounting for around 15% of all eggspackedOwnership: Limited companyTurnover: approximately £110 million in 2003 (€165 million @ £1 = €1.5)Profit: £700,000 in 2002 (€1.05 million @ £1 = €1.5)Employment: 335 staffMain markets: 90% large domestic retailers, remainder small retailers and catering sectorA1.15.2.2. Production (packer) concentrationThe UK industry is very concentrated with only some 2,000 commercial producers, with DeansFoods Ltd and Stonegate Ltd (and their contracted production) accounting for the vast majority(approximately 50%) of total eggs produced and packed. There are a few mid-sized packers afterDeans Foods Ltd and Stonegate Ltd and these are presented in Table A1.125.Table A1.125: Main egg packers in the UKRank Company Output 20031 Deans Foods Ltd 1 3,400 million eggs (estimate)2 Stonegate Ltd 1,200 million eggs (estimate)3 Friday’s Ltd 500 million eggs (estimate)4 Oakland Farm Eggs Ltd 500 million eggs (estimate)5 Glenrath Farms Ltd 500 million eggs (estimate)6 Skea Egg Farms Ltd 200 million eggs (estimate)7 Sunrise Poultry Farms Ltd 165 million eggs (estimate)8 J Rainford and Son Ltd 150 million eggs (estimate)Total production10,000 million eggsNote: 1 Deans acquired Freshlay in October 2003. Freshlay is not listed separately and output is included with Deans.Source: <strong>Agra</strong> <strong>CEAS</strong> based on industry estimates.The 4-firm concentration ratio for UK egg packers is high at 64% and the 8-firm concentration ratiois 67%. There has been a significant degree of concentration over the last decade. Even as recentlyas the late-1990s there were four packing companies of roughly equivalent size (Deans Foods,Daylay, Stonegate and Thames Valley Foods). However, Deans Foods acquired Daylay in 2000 andacquired the new entrant Freshlay in October 2003. Stonegate acquired Thames Valley Foods in2001.A1.15.2.3. Main production systemsThe vast majority (69%) of UK egg production takes place in traditional cages. Free range systemsaccount for the bulk of the remainder (25% (including organic)) with barn accounting for theremaining 6%.The technical specifications of UK systems are the same as stipulated under EU legislation for cagedproduction, but there are some differences for non-caged systems as follows:316
APPENDIX 1: MEMBER STATE REPORTS Stocking density: typical UK free range and barn systems operate a stocking density of 11.7birds per m 2 (inside) and are allowed to continue to do so (subject to being in production priorto August 1999) until the beginning of 2012. The EU Directive requires a stocking density of 9birds/m 2 from the beginning of 2007.However, the UK Lion Quality Scheme covers more than 80% of UK egg production (a greaterproportion of free range) and this has a number of additional requirements. The main features are asfollows:registration of breeding farms, hatcheries, pullet rearing and laying farms, packing centres andfeed mills;all pullets must be vaccinated against S. Enteritidis;strict bio-security for farms;full traceability of flocks, feed and eggs;maximum best before date 21 days after packing;Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP);six monthly Self Audit and 100% independent inspection;all feed produced to UK Agricultural Supply Trade Association Feed Assurance Scheme;outdoor stocking density for free range systems of 1,000 birds per hectare rather than the EUrequirement of 2,500 birds per hectare 142 .The evolution of the use of different production systems in the UK between 1990 and 2001 ispresented in Table A1.126 and Figure A1.84 below. The steady growth of the free range sector,fuelled by consumer demand and the relative price difference compared to caged eggs, can be clearlyseen as the share of this sector increased from 5% to 27% over the period. This increase inimportance is the result of both an absolute increase in the number of laying hens in free rangesystems and also the general decrease in the number of laying hens (30% over the period) clearlydepicted in Figure A1.85. This decline reflects to some extent the continuing impact of thesalmonella crisis.142 This is also the case under the RSPCA Freedom Foods scheme.317
