BACON FOR BRITAIN.
ADDITIONAL 8000 TONS WANTED. EXPORT FROM NEW ZEALAND. (P.A.) WELLINGTON, May 21. Advice has been received by Mr W. A. Phillips (chaii-man of directors of the New Zealand Co-operative Pig Marketing Association) that arising from Britain’s recent agreement to purchase an increased tonnage of this season’s meat, the British Ministry of Food has agreed to the inclusion of all New Zealand bacon stocks on. hand as at April 12. This represents approximately 8000 tons, and with these stocks out of the way this disposed of the difficulty which would have arisen in respect of next season’s baconer production had it been necessary to consume existing stocks on the local market. “This unexpected gesture by the British Ministry of Food will be a welcome relief to producers, whose production outlook for next season has thereby been greatly increased,” said Mr Phillips. “There is, however, no indication of any change in the situation in respect of next season’s production for export of baconer pigs.”
