Export butter spoils
PA . ... . Tauranga The Dairy Board almost certainly will have to write off 300 tonnes of unsalted butter left outside the Auck-I land Farmers’ Freezing Cooperative cool?.- store at Mount Maungantii. The butter, which is in 10 railway containers, arrived at the store the morning after freezing workers decided to stop work. The butter, intended for export to Poland, is worth about $500,000. From Wellington yesterday, an officer of the dairy
industry information service, Mr Q. Golder, said he believed the butter was now unsaleable. “It is slowly deteriorating but we cannot do anything about it,” he said. Mr Golder said that when the strike ended the butter would be put in the cool store and its quality assessed by inspectors. There was little hope that the butter could even be reprocessed into milk fat unless temperatures were reasonably cool in the district.
