500,000 CASES OF FRUIT
COMING SEASON'S EXPORTS P - A - HASTINGS, Sunday. Prospects for the export of about half a million cases of fruit during the coming season were indicated by the association's representative on the New Zealand Fruit Marketing Council, Mr. A. C. Ward, when reporting to • a meeting of the Hawke's Bay Fruitgrowers' Association. He said Hawke's Bay's share in that export would be about 100,000 cases, the balance of 400,000 cases being allocated to Nelson. Mr. Ward did not think there would be a reversion to the pre-war state under which the industry would handle its own export. Instead, the Government would take the fruit as a bulk purchase. The average payout on the Hawke's Bay pip fruit crop for 1945 would be 6/2.67 for apples and 6/10.84 for pears, giving an over-all average for apples and pears of 6/4J, said Mr. Ward.
