Marketing of cuts
There was a need to send lamb cuts to specific markets, rather than to market the whole carcase in one market, said the Meat Export development Company (N.Z.), Ltd, in submissions to the Meat Industry Commission in Wellington yesterday. The company presented a table comparing prices for New Zealand lamb, on a reasonably comparable c.i.f. basis in New Zealand cents, on the United States and United Kingdom markets, as follows: U.S.A. U.K. Racks .. ~.103 52 Loins .... 80 50 Legs .. .. 62 78 Shoulders .. 50 29 “While the product might not be exactly comparable to each market, it does broadly illustrate the benefits to New Zealand in exchange earnings if the individual cuts are diversified internationally to best advantage,” said the company. “While the above prices were true in the middle of 1973, and will vary from time to time, it does illustrate the variation by cut in these two important markets.’’
