The Jamaica Egg Farmers Association (JEFA) is poised to recover from a downward curve in demand for its product due to competition from North American suppliers of liquefied eggs to local hotels.
A plant to pasteurise local eggs is now in an advance stage of completion and is being built by the JEFA in conjunction with Caribbean Producers Limited in Montego Bay, St. James, at a cost of $40 million. The facility is expected to be operational by October 2007.
