FRUIT FROM ARGENTINA
New Zealand and Australian fruit growers are likely to encounter more competition from Argentina in the British market. The London correspondent of "The Post" quotes an official report showing the growth of the trade and the expansion of the orchard industry in the Argentine. Packing and handling show great improvement. While Great Britain has been accepting more imported fruit from this source, new markets are being obtained in various European countries, as well as in the neighbouring countries of Latin America. In the former category, Poland is becoming a decidedly useful customer, and in the latter Uruguay is rapidly coming to the fore. The French market is also becoming of considerable importance and, in the first quarter of the present year, France was the second largest buyer of Argentine fruit. Pears have been the main class of fruit, as in the 1937-38 season, in the quantitative export sense, next in the order of quantitative importance being apples.
