Exports And Prices
volume of New Zea- *• land produce exported in 1958 showed an increase of 7.1 per cent, on that exported in 1957, but prices realised on world markets dropped by 14.6 per cent. The price index for all exports during 1958 fell to the lowest level since 1949. The total value of our export trade during 1958 dropped by £ 26.6 m on the 1957 figures. The main cause was the lower prices paid for dairy produce and wool. The return from exported meat showed an increase of £B.7m but sa|es of boneless beef to the United States more than compensated for the lower prices ruling on the United Kingdom market for lamb and mutton, where the greatest proportion of our meat is sold.
