STONE FRUIT GRADING
Because the Price Order for stone fruits has no grading regulations to support it, the ceiling price is being received by growers for inferior grade fruit, according to a statement issued by the Canterbury Fruitbuyers' Associaion. Under the Price Tribunal's Order, three grades of fruit are specified, but these grades, it is stated, have never been defined. As a result, fruit which would have difficulty in making the dessert grade is packed in cases marked "specially selected dessert" and sold at the highest price.
