Meat Marketing
Sir.—l agree with Mr Cameron _that the United Kingdom market is not oversupplied and that we can safely export at least another five million lambs to that market; but I fail to see why the New Zealand meat producer must accept slump prices to enable us to export. The 20d per lb mentioned by Mr Cameron would leave a schedule of lid per lb net skin value. Lamb cannot be produced at this price. Mr Cameron was almost correct when he said that the retail butcher kept the price steady —to be exact he should have said that the retail butcher kept the retail price so steady that it has not been altered during the last eight years. This fact was well aired through the press of the United Kingdom and New Zealand two years ago.— Yours, etc..
