Board to render meat surplus
PA Wellington The Meat Producers’ Board will render 6000 tonnes of old season’s mutton carcase stocks rather than incur further financing and storage costs, it said. It is about 4% per cent of the season’s production. The chairman, Mr Adam Begg, said that there were adequate quantities of new season’s product for sale,
and the board had decided the most cost-efficient solution was to render the old product into tallow and meat and bone meal which would give some return to New Zealand from export markets.
“The board regards the problems in selling this season’s mutton overseas as manageable. We are looking at a number of non-traditional markets where the prospects look quite interesting,” said Mr will not oversupply and disrupt our traditional markets simply because of a short-term marketing problem.” Mr Begg said the board had followed a similar policy with lamb during 1983 and it was now returning “real benefits” to the industry.
