Oversupply does not stop young entrepreneur dreaming

摘要

Egg producers in Thailand have hatched a plan to deal with the oversupply of eggs. They have agreed to reduce production after facing a huge loss throughout 2006. However, it did not stop Jatuporn Lounnetngern, a novice in layer farming, dreaming about expanding her business. The egg market in Thailand is suffering from dramatic over-supply. Narong Jiemjaibunjong, president of the Association of Hen-Egg Farmers, Traders and Exporters, said that farmers, big and small, faced a loss in 2006 due to an over-supply of several million eggs per day. Farmers were forced to sell their eggs at an average of Baht 1.70 (0.036 EUR) each against the production cost of between Btl.95 (0.042 EUR) and Bt2.00 (0.043 EUR).
