Noble Foods has announced its second price increase for egg producers in the space of eight weeks. The nine pence per dozen price increase applies to all its free-range producers, across all grades including seconds, and begins on 1 December.
Commenting on the increase, Graham Atkinson, Agriculture Director at Noble Foods said: “Egg producers and packers across the country are facing huge challenges due to the unprecedented level of inflation in the sector. The issue can’t be ignored, and we’ll continue to support our producers, which is why this additional price increase was called for. The concerns around cost pressure and risk management require the entire supply chain to work together, find the solutions to these underlying problems, and ultimately ensure availability returns to normal. Noble Foods will continue to take a proactive role in finding the best solutions for everyone.”
The December issue of Poultry Business, out next week, features an exclusive interview with Noble Foods owner and chair Sarah Dean.
