The document outlines the Victorian Egg Board's plan to phase out transport subsidies in the egg industry by 1989. Since 1937, transport costs for moving eggs from grading floors or depots to market or processing plants have been covered by an equalization fund, financed by a levy on all eggs produced.In 1984/85, subsidies totaled $710,000 (1.44 cents per dozen); by 1985/86, this was estimated at $800,000 (1.6 cents per dozen). Rising transport costs have increased the subsidy burden and associated levies.The shift of egg production from metropolitan to country areas has hidden the true cost of transport for some producers.No other primary industry subsidizes transport to market, and Victoria is the last state to do so after NSW removed its subsidy.egg producer's information, correspondence, cepa, commercial egg producers' association
