Subsidies On Fruit
Substantial Government subsidies which would be paid this year to Australian growers were a blow to the New Zealand industry, said the president of the New Zealand Fruitgrowers’ Federation, Ltd (Mr H. Osborne), at its Canterbury provincial conference yesterday. These subsidies would encourage the Australian growers to continue and perhaps expand their production, he said. “If we are not subsidised, we may be forced to stay as we are, or go into a recession,” he said. “If we get a fair go, I have every confidence that we can go from strength to strength.” Mr Osborne said that New Zealand was one of the very few countries, perhaps the only one, where fruitgrowers produced for export and the local market without some form of subsidy.
