Consumers should expect a corresponding decline in retail egg prices, except in cases when eggs have been on special. Producer prices will fall 5-7 cents a dozen depending on the province. The producer price is based on a Cost of Production formula and is adjusted on a provincial basis to allow for actu- al production cost differences. The price is also adjusted to reflect seasonal variations in demand under CEMA's new sea- sonal pricing policy.

"Demand for egg: always slows in the period afte Easter and it is therefore appro priate that prices should fall," he explained. Seasonal pricing is an example of CEMA's commitment to mar- ket responsiveness. This policy reduces industrial. product removal costs while leaving pro- ducer returns unaffected in the course of the calendar year. The current price reduction comes at a time when the cost of most food and consumer items are on the rise. Egg prices con- tinue to go against this trend as revealed by the most recent Agriculture Canada retail food price report.
