Contracts for lamb exports
PA Wellington
New Zealand’s meat industry chiefs will soon go to the Middle East to sign lamb contracts worth up to $3OO million. . | Principal among them is next year’s Iran deal. A Meat Board-Meat Exporters’ Council delegation will fly to Teheran next month to discuss prices for the 47,000 tonnes of lamb Iran has promised to buy. Also next month, a team from W. and R. Fletcher will finalise negotiations with Iraq for a contract to buy 80,000 tonnes of lamb over the next four years. The deal with Iraq will follow the completion of a $l6 million agreement which Fletcher announced yesterday to ship 7500 tonnes of lamb bv the end of this year. By then New Zealand will have sent almost 100,000 tonnes of lamb to the Middle East — a large proportion of the 360,000 tonnes processed for export. Britain is still New Zealand’s biggest and most lucrative market, taking 175,000 tonnes this year — a poor year.
