BUTTER SHIPMENTS
CONTINUITY OF SUPPLY A report issued recently by the chairman of the Australian Dairy Produce Export Board (Mr. T. F. Plunkett) points out that it is of paramount importance that there should be a continuity in the supply of Australian dairy produce on the British market. On the basis of an annual export of 120,000 tons, Mr. Plunkett suggests that Australian production should be so regulated to ensure arrivals in Britain averaging 3300 tons weekly in January, February, March, and April; 2500 tons weekly in May; 1500 tons weekly in June, July, August, September, and October; and up to 3300 tons weekly in November and December.
Mr. Plunkett, in his report, says that the percentage of first-grade butter sold in Britain was out of all proportion to that of choicest. Every endeavour must be made to lift a larger amount of first-grade to choicest, even if in the process it be necessary to increase the amount of second grade. If a large quantity of choicest grade butter was produced it would have a stabilising effect on the • market and enable a slightly better price to be obtained, provided a continuity of supply was maintained.
