NEW ZEALAND FRUIT
Marketing By Department
The New Zealand Grown Fruit Regulations, 19-10, which appear in last night’s Gazette, replace similar regulations dated 1938, and amend them to dovetail into the Apple and Pear Marketing Regulations and the Lemon Marketing Regulations, which are administered by the Marketing Department in respect to the marketing of apples, pears and lemons iu New Zealand. The Marketing Department’s regulations set out broadly the basis on which fruit shall be marketed by or on behalf of that department, and stipulate that all fruit delivered to the department for sale shall be inspected by authorized inspectors under the Department of Agriculture to determine whether the fruit is properly packed and graded. The new regulations also contain detailed grading standards for apples, pears and lemons to replace the general grading standards laid down by the Marketing Department for operation with the commencement of the present fruit marketing season. The opportunity has also been taken to include grading standards for stone fruits, but such grading is not applicable before November 1, 1941. The regulations also include grading standards for sweet oranges and dessert and marmalade grapefruit.
