MILK POWDER Japan Now N.Z.’s Best Customer
(New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, October 21. Japan had become New Zealand’s biggest market for skim-milk powder.
The general manager of the Dairy Board (Mr A. H. Ward) said today that in the last five months the board had sold 24,000 tons of skim milk powder to the Japanese school-lunch authorities. Sales by the board to other Japanese buyers so far this season amounted to about 4000 tons. The total sales to Japan this season, 28,000 tons, was worth about £3 million.
The board’s aggregate sales of all dairy products to Japan
were now running at an annual rate of £8 million, said Mr Ward. Japan had now displaced Britain as New Zealand’s largest customer for skim milk powder. Until this year the United States had been the sole supplier of skim milk powder to the Japanese school-lunch programme, one of the world’s greatest mass nutrition schemes.
This year, because of the sharp fall in American stocks. New Zealand had obtained more Japanese orders.
