Fijian To Establish Meat Export Plant
(New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, November 5,
A director of a Fijian meat company has come to New Zealand to establish a processing plant to send meat to Fiji.
Mr R. H. Khan, a director of the Ba Meat Company, arrived in Auckland two weeks ago with the intention
of forming an export trade in mutton, beef and lamb. He said today that the most likely site for his plant would be in Northland near Moerewa or Kawakawa because both were central to shipping, labour and cattle. Mr Khan said he intended to establish the plant on a two-acre block where meat would be processed after the animals had been slaughtered by Moslems at the Moerewa Freezing Works.
The carcases would be shipped to Fiji from Opua. “People in Fiji need meat.” Mr Khan said. “There is just not enough to go round and the only answer I can see is to export meat from New Zealand.”
