“When there are disruptions in the supply chain or increased costs in supply chain, there really is just a handful of things that you can do as a business,” he said. According to Egg Farmers of Australia, in recent years the industry has been impacted by a range of issues including bushfires, floods, droughts, a mice plague, COVID-19 impacts and increased production costs.
