Eggs suitable for packing:
There has been no change in tone for graded eggs. Operators report a lack of demand from wholesalers, who have offers of EU or non-EU origin at very competitive prices and turn away from French-origin eggs if they are not bound by a set of specifications. Graders say they are having difficulty placing large and extra-large eggs and are making price concessions. Medium and small eggs are less available and are maintaining their prices more easily.
For ungraded eggs going to packing, there has also been no change compared with last week. Sales are brisk, and the few transactions in ungraded code 3 eggs suitable for packing are being made at very firm price levels.

Non-packable egg:
Industry players continue to find demand for French egg products of code 3 rather disappointing for the season, whereas year-end production normally gets underway at this time. There are several explanations for this: industry players facing weak sales of products at the back of the shelf and therefore having less need, a flow of imported egg products, and also demand increasingly and decisively shifting toward egg products of code 2 at the expense of code 3. In this context, prices for eggs of code 3 are stagnating in France. The trend is the same in Europe. French code 2 remains very difficult to find on the spot market.
