Lemon sale to Japan
(N.Z. Press
AUCKLAND, Aug. 5. New Zealand’s first big export shipment of lemons to Japan is expected to leave Auckland tomorrow in the freighter Nagaosan Mani. Some 7000 cases of lemons, grown at Tauranga and To Puke, are to be loaded. The consignment is being handled by Fruit Distributors, Ltd, and a company spokesman said the order was a stop-gap measure because of a lemon shortage in Japan. It was in the nature of a trial shipment and the company had no ideas at this stage whether a trade would develop.
Japan normally imports lemons from California.
