Lamb cuts directive
The Meat Board has asked meat processing comjanies to cease cutting certain grades of lamb because the market demand for the cuts that would be produced does not match potential production. The board "said yesterday that the directive applied to the T, F, and C grades which would normally be cut and trimmed before export The board said that it would not incur additional
costs on carcases if they could not be recovered from the marketplace. This did not mean that the further processing in New Zealand of lamb had come to a halt. Many meat companies were buying lamb carcases under the buy-back scheme for further processing. The volume of carcases being further processed this year in total, would in fact, be a record, said the board.
