Egg Production Growth Rate SlowsOTTAWA - Feb 7/03 - SNS -- Canadian egg production continued to slow down in December, compared to year earlier production levels, contributing to a slower annual increase in total egg production than seen since 1998. Numbers available from Statistics Canada reveal total egg production finished 2002 at an estimated 577,468,000 dozen eggs, up 1.38% from 2001. However, the rate of annual growth was well below that recording during each of the previous three calendar years. Egg production was estimated at 49.3 million dozen in December, down 0.9% from December 2001. Poultry meat production reached 85.1 million kilograms in December, down 3.7% from December 2001.
