BACON MARKETING
HITCH IN BRITISH SCHEME
(British Official Wireless.)
RUGBY, December 18,
Owing to the failure of farmers to contract for sufficient numbers of bacon pigs required by curers next year, difficulty has arisen in the operation of one of the principal agricultural marketing schemes, and the Bacon Marketing Board has cancelled, in exercise of its right, all contracts for 1937 already entered into!
A statement issued tonight by the Ministry of Agriculture says that the situation thus created '. will require consideration both as regards the future organisation of the home industry and the regulation of bacon, imports. Foreign bacon allocations have already been fixed for the . first six weeks of 1937, and it is not proposed to make any alteration .in these arrangements. Thereafter, while' the position of the pig and bacon marketing schemes is under examination, imports will continue to be regulated provisionally, with due regard to the supply situation. It will be the object of this examination to devise machinery with a view to avoiding difficulties which have been experienced in the past and which have led to the action taken by the Bacon Marketing Board on the present occasion.
