N.Z. Dairy Produce
Sir, —Why all this useless talk about our dairy produce being inferior? One has only to remember the high prices paid by the British people for our produce ever since the war until the commencement of the slump in 1930. There was never any talk of our exports of dairy and fruit produce having no flavour then. The' root of' the whole trouble is that
farmers have more than doubled their output through better farming methods, and top-dressing especially, and owing to the unemployment figures in Britain the market must .become glutted. When all boiled down, the purchasing power in Britain is just not there, and that is all there is to it. Also, as long as New Zealand and Australia allow British ships to come here by the dozen in ballast, instead of being full of goods, well I for one can see our export prices staying where they are, or even going lower. —1 am, etc., F.B. Halcombe, March 15.
