Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now a shortage of eggs apparently across the Northern Territory.
I wonder if it is happening right around the nation.
I don't know at this point, but if you've got
friends or family that live into state and you want
to send them a message and then let us know
if it is something that's experienced in other places, I'll be.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Keen to find out.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
But we caught up with Shelley from ziccicolea IgA a
bit earlier this morning. She said that, you know, we
might get to the point where people are paying fifteen
dollars for a carton of eggs, so and that we
were going to probably experience some shortages right up until
Chris Matts is what her supplies have told her. Now
(00:39):
joining me on the line to talk a little bit
more about the situation from Flanno's Eggs, Stephen Reed, Good
morning to you, Steven.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Good morning, Cadi mate.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Thanks so much for your time this morning.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
When I thought about this egg shortage, I thought all
the eggs that I seem to have when I've got
the muff Flanno's eggs, and I wonder whether you guys
are in a situation where this shortage is impacting you.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
It is definitely impacting us, and it's going to There
is no end date at this stage on when the
supply is going to get back to normal.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Wow. So Stephen, what are you being told buy suppliers?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
So, the main reason why there's a big egg shortage
at the moment is in the last year there's been
ten farms closed down. Three of them are bankrupt. The
others are not wanting to spend two to three million
dollars just to upgrade from caged eggs to barn laid
(01:49):
or free range or even the modified caged sections because
it's going to be costly, way too costly, and at
this stage, just to start up a new farm, it's
going to cost a farm at two hundred and thirty
(02:09):
dollars per bird. That's without any infrastructure.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Goodness may So, what is this going to mean for territorians?
I mean, it sounds like it's going to be something
that impacts right around the nation, Stephen.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
But what's it going to mean for us here in
the territory.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
It's going to mean egg shortages every week because just
n team alone, I'm matched out on my capacity. I'm
trying to get my supply to give more, but it's
a real struggle. The biggest problem is that doesn't help
(02:51):
Australia eat seventeen million eggs a day.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
We love our eggs, sounds of fresh unfortunately. Yeah, Like
how hard is that for you?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Then? As you know, as a as an operator and
as a supplier.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
It's stressful. It's daily stressful because I've got to make
sure that every customer gets some sort of supply, even
if I have to short more of coals and woolies
just to help out my local customers. And a real struggle.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Wow, And so Stephen, because like most of the Fane's
eggs are free range, aren't they.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Yeah, we only deal with free range and barnley.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah, that was what I thought, and that's why I
usually go for those. And I know that there'd be
others that feel the same others. You know, it may
be a cost thing for them, and I know plenty
of people are doing it tough and and they go
for what is the most reasonable in terms of price
for them, which is fair enough. Everybody's situation is different.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Yeah, no, that's correct. But the worst part is in
the future, within probably the next year, you're going to
see price rises on the eggs, and you're definitely going
to be behining between ten dollars to fifteen dollars per dozen. Wow.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
And then you know, when you kind of think about
that and how it'll translate then into two cafes, restaurants,
everybody else that needs eggs for their supplies, you would
think that it's going to have an impact on those
prices right across the board.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yes, unfortunately, you know, supplies have to pass on the costs,
but then eventually to the consumer.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah. Well Stephen.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
With New Zealand. Yeah, it's been reported that just for
Cage Free or Barnley the christ jumped up eighty percent.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Free Range jumped up one hundred.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Oh wow, that's like that's an awful lot for people.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah, yeah, well, Stephen, mate, it sounds like we are
going to have to talk to you again in the
near future. I reckon to get a bit of an
update on how things are going, because you know, Kristin
and I just happened to be chatting about this this
morning before we got on air, and I was like,
you know, we'll need to have a talk about this
and see whether it's something that's impacting people. And I
didn't realize the extent of this shortage and how difficult
(05:46):
it's going to be in the months to come.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Yeah, no, that's right, and that's why when I heard
some you saying about the edge shortage, I had to
jump on and explain what's going on.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah, I really appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Thank you so much for calling through and having a
chat with us this morning. It is very much appreciated,
and like I said, I reckon. We're going to need
to have a catch up sometime soon to get an
update on how things are going.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Yeah, that's no problem with me.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Thank you. Thanks so much for your time this morning.
