A CRACKDOWN on free-range eggs has left producers scrambling to supply Tasmanian government departments.
The new Liberal state government has scrapped a rule that schools, hospitals and other agencies use only non-caged eggs.
New treasurer Peter Gutwein has slammed the requirement, describing it as "ridiculous" and an example of "red and green tape".
It was to be introduced this year by the previous Labor-Green government before it lost the March state election.
Egg producers are describing it as a victory for common sense.
"That plan would have handed the Tasmanian egg market over to interstate suppliers because they could still have imported caged eggs here," Tasmanian Farmers and Graziers Association boss Jan Davis said in a statement.
The RSPCA has criticised the move as a backward step for animal welfare.
"We actually have the ability here in Tasmania, being an island, to make some real differences," Tasmanian manager Peter West told the ABC.
