Abstract: This report presents detailed information on egg marketing channels in 5 eastern metropolitan areas. It also briefly describes the weekly reports of movement of eggs into retail channels as issued by U. S. Department of Agriculture's Dairy and Poultry News Branch. This is the third of a group of studies on the movement of shell eggs into retail channels in large metropolitan areas of the United States. This study covers the New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Pittsburgh, and Baltimore markets. It is part of a broad program of research to obtain basic information on marketing channels, and to assist the Agricultural Marketing Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, in appraising and improving its current poultry market news reports.
