BUTTER EXPORTS
Canadian. Market
NEW ZEALAND’S POSITION Reference to the Canadian market as far as the export of New Zealand butter is concerned, was made in an interview yesterday by Sir Apirana Ngata, who is acting for the Prime Minister in the absence of the Hon. E. A. Ransom. “It has recently been represented to the Government,” said Sir Apirana, “that butter imported into Canada from New Zealand is unfavourably placed on account of the duty at present imposed as compared with that imported from the Commonwealth of Australia.
It is understood that the present position is that the New Zealand product is liable to duty at the rate of 8 .cents per lb., but that owing to the terms of sale no dumping duty is collected, whereas_ under the Australian trade agreement with. Canada, the duty on Australian" butter is 1 cent per lb., but owing to the bounty granted on butter exported -from the Commonwealth dumping duty is also imposed. “The Government has been in communication with Mr. Forbes respecting the unfavourable position of New Zealand butter, and he has advised that suitable representations have been made to the Canadian Government, and that the whole matter is under consideration.”
