PIGMEATS EXPORT
Freight Rate Effects (N Z. Press Association) HASTINGS, June 20. Restraint on shipping freight rate increases would enhance the export opportunities of New Zealand’s pig industry, said the general secretary of Federated Farmers (Mr J. G. Prvde) in Hastings this afternoon. Mr Pryde was addressing pig producers at a luncheon at the porker and baconer competition at the Tomoana freezing works. The level of freight rates for pigmeats made their sale in some markets unprofitable he said. He believed that Australian market could prove increasingly attractive to New Zealand producers. At present New Zealand pigmeats incurred a duty whose abolition would make them more competitive in that country.
New Zealand should preserve its right of duty and quota free entry for its pigmeat going into the British market, he said. Pork is free entry continued indefinitely, with the British Government having the right to review it at six months’ notice.
