In the UK the vast majority of people shop at a handful of supermarkets (Tesco, ASDA, Morrisons, Sainsburys, Waitrose) and they are pretty ruthless when it comes to prices. We have had numerous instances of this where supermarkets pay producers less than it costs to produce a given product. Honestly your options for where else to sell aren't great. A handful of wholesalers and large customers in the food industry.
I live in a rural area and I get my eggs from a local farm who sell theirs directly and to numerous market traders and farm shops locally. They'll be OK.
Fuck that price control bullshit, I’d sell my eggs on the black market before I lost money...
Is 30p (55¢) per dozen really breaking them? Profit margins are super thin if so...

The vast majority of farms are in trouble though.
Yep ... nothing about the imbecilic shoppers =))
