NEW MARKETS
NEW ZEALAND MEAT
NO SALE IN THE EAST
When addressing delegates at the annual meeting of the New Zealand Meat Producers' Board today, the chairman, Mr. T. A. Duncan, said that a cable had been received from Singapore stating that ewe mutton was absolutely unsaleable. It was very unfortunate, because it did not look as if it was possible for New Zealand producers to get any sale of their products in the East, with the exception of some special small lots.
Mr. Duncan's remarks were made after he had dealt with the trial shipments the board had sent to Canada. Encouraged by the success of last year's experimental shipment of lambs to Eastern Canada, he said, and having in mind the urgent need to find an outlet for our mutton and lamb in new markets, the board this year had sent four shipments of mutton and lamb to Toronto and Montreal.
The quantity consigned this year was almost double Mst year's initial venture, and, although it was still relatively small in volume, it was a beginning. If only a regular trade could be built up with Canada it would be of great benefit to New Zealand, particularly at the present time when New Zealand producers were faced with a restriction in their principal market, the United Kingdom.
