SMITHFIELD MARKET
Lamb prices easier Values of New Zealand lamb on the Smithfield market last week were reduced slightly to meet the increased competition from home killed lamb and beef. However, in general, trading conditions were similar to those of the previous week, with heavy offerings of fresh beef and marginally increased offerings of domestic lamb dominating the market. The sharp reduction in pork production was reflected in firmer values, while poultry supplies were adequate to meet demand, and prices remained unchanged.
