DAIRY PRODUCE
IWAftKETING REGULATIONS
NEW SCHEME IN AUGUST .
(By Telegraph)
(Special to the "Evening Post.")
AUCKLAND, May 13,
It is learned that the New Zealand Dairy Produce Board intends to proceed with its new marketing regulations, which will come into operation on August 1, tho beginning of the next dairying season.
Some doubt as to the board's intentions arose in the export trade in view of tho Government's assumption of responsibility for the dairy problem and the appointment of a Royal Commission. Further consideration was given to the regulations at a meeting of the board last week. It is understood that the members were satisfied that the best course was to proceed to carry out the scheme.
Tho scheme has become one of the major activities of the board, which believes that a considerable improvement in the marketing of the Dominion's dairy produce will be effected.
A suggestion that the scheme is opposed by London importers is not confirmed. It is claimed that importers as well as tho ■ industry realise the defects in the present system, and they aro co-operating with the board in the matter.
The work of appointing' selling agents for various factories is now nearing completion. The factories have already made known their wishes in this matter to the board, and in most eases the same firms are being retained. However, it has been found that some factories have dealt with as many as seven firms, and the number in ..these cases has been reduced.
It is understood that a schemo has been completed .in regard to the restriction of f.o.b. selling, and that it will be on the lines of that of the Australian board in fixing a minimum price weekly. The board will probably work in conjunction with Australia in this matter.
When tho board's regulations come into force canvassing by New Zealand agents of importing firms will cease automatically. It is -understood that most firms will retain connections in. New Zealand, but a reduction, in. staffs is expected.
