Who we are:

The BC Egg Marketing Board is a regulatory body that oversees and manages the province’s egg farming industry. We work with over 160 family-owned and operated egg farms, grading stations, the processor, and other industry partners to bring the goodness of BC fresh eggs to consumers.

Our Mandate:

BC Egg is the first-instance regulator of egg production in BC under the Natural Products Marketing (BC) Act and the BC Egg Marketing Scheme. BC Egg is responsible for the orderly production of eggs by regulating the production volume, transportation, packaging, storage, and marketing of ungraded eggs. It sets the price producers receive for eggs within the province. These duties are overseen by the BC Farm Industry Review Board, an independent tribunal established to supervise all marketing boards and commissions in BC.

Proper governance requires that BC Egg understand the authority vested in it through Federal and Provincial legislation, as well as the political landscapes within BC and across Canada.
