Some good news
; At this time of the year, [with the start of the new [ export meat killing season ’ not far away, farmers’ [ thoughts are inevitably > turning not only to the ! sort of prices that they [ will receive in the new j season but also to the sort [ of processing charges that * they are likely to face. [ On the processing side ! there was some good news [ this week. The general * manager of the Canteri burv Frozen Meat ComI pany, Mr D. Morten, said l that there had been a con- } siderable increase in the * prices of items like tallow | and meals, the returns i from which are set against
costs in arriving at processing rates. Mr Morten said that these rises in price, particularly for tallow, were considerably more than the 15 per cent that might be expected to flow from devaluation, and if these sort of levels could be maintained then any rise in processing rates would not be particularly great. Mr Morten did not say this — but from a fanning point of view it would be hoped that these increases might eliminate the need to increase processing rates at all. The Eastern market is understood to be responsible for the price rise.
