Aggregate Recoupment

These can,

All price increases are annual averages. if desired, be concentrated on certain months to encourage production at those seasons.

For crops the price increases take account of the Special Review increases so that there is no decline in the rate between 1951/52 and 1952/53.

(3) The aggregate recoupment for eggs is net of a

decrease in price of duck eggs of 6d. per dozen.

(4)

As in previous years it has been assumed that the benefit of an increased price for fat cattle will be passed back to the breeder of stores imported from the Irish Republic.
