Producers may be forced to export their eggs to markets "where higher returns are being paid" the Irish Farmers' Association has warned.
Aldi stores previously agreed to pass back 3c/egg to its suppliers, who have now have agreed to pass back 1.1c/egg back to the primary producer.
The IFA has confirmed that a protest by egg producers outside Aldi in Cavan town was stood down earlier this morning (Wednesday, October 5).
Protesters calling for an extra 2c/egg from Aldi have expressed disappointment at an agreement announced by the supermarket yesterday.
