PA Wellington Algeria has bought 2000 tonnes of New Zealand lamb, worth about $6 million. Announcing this yesterday, the chairman of the Meat Marketing Corporation, Mr Eric Cammell, said that the contract required the. pro- „
duct to be Haial slaughtered and shipped during June. “In addition, the industry is looking at ways and means of helping the Algerians in establishing methods and facilities for the handling and distribution of the New Zealand product,“ he said. Algeria is the second largest country in Africa, with an area more than . eight times the size of New Zealand. Less than 4 per cent is under cultivation.
Improving living standards for a population now in excess of 18 million means that food imports are likely to continue for .some time.'
“By establishing this contract, the meat-export industry has proved that it is competitive and that it has an unsurpassed reputation for quality and performance,“ Mr Cammell said.
