Japanese buy freeze-dry beef
1 PA Wellington A recent export order from Japan for raw freeze-dried beef cubes is seen as a potential market breakthrough and will absorb a third of the present freeze-dry processing capacity of the Alliance Freezing Company in Southland. The company said the order was significant in that Japanese eating habits were changing to convenience foods such as instant noodles and they now required instant beef ■ to complement them.
Freeze-dry products, as such, are not restricted by the Japanese import beef quota. Coming as it does at the end of the processing season, the order will ensure continued employment for the staff of the company’s freeze-dry plant throughout the off-season. At present, freeze-dry products, which weigh only a fraction of their unprocessed weight, are soid to the New Zealand Army on contract, and are sold” in sports shops for use during outdoor activities.
