What producers want is to let the price float and based on previous article in the news that price will go up about 3 cents for eggs. Some say these companies are reliant on subsidies. In order to get everyone to agree to sell at the current low egg prices, govt has to give them subsidies and this is done to reduce inflation.
When they took away subsidies for chicken and increased the ceiling price by RM1 to rm9.4, LHI profits more than doubled. Cant comment on CAB as they are not market leader or most efficient player. If you check chicken prices have come down from Nov last year which was the peak but you have to take note of a few things. 1) this is avg price we are talking about. if your product premium, u sell higher and earn higher margins 2) raw material is in their favor so the other players could be selling lower as margins
