IMPORTS OF FARM GOODS
Early Orders Sought
Farmers have been requested to place firm orders for imported farm goods as soon as possible so that farm requirements can be met within the present import licensing year.
-In a letter to the North Canterbury provincial executive of Federated Farmers yesterday the Dominion council’s machinery committee said orders placed now would indicate whether shortages were likely to occur. Items listed by the committee included galvanised piping, stainless steel tubing, electric motors and milk coolers.
The letter said that the present tight control of imports meant that additional import licences would be granted only where evidence of a shortage could be shown, and only after importers had exhausted their 1966-1967 allocation. “This could give us an indication of whether there are shortages or not,” said the chairman (Mr R. H. Bedford). “It is felt that while there are short supplies in merchants’ hands, there could be satisfactory supplies on farms. This move could provide the answer.”
