MEAT EXPORT
NEED TO MAINTAIN QUALITY
(P.A.) ' WELLINGTON, Oct. 17. “ In deciding to discontinue the export of third grade carcasses, the New Zealand Meat Producers’ Board is continuing its policy of the maintenance of quality,” said Mr G. H. Grigg, chairman of the board, in a statement this morning. He added that the board recently resolved that no third grade sheep or lambs be killed for export during the ensuing season. The hoard felt that as a state of emergency no longer existed in the Dominion, the needs of the United Kingdom could best be met by producers holding lantern-framed animals until they ,put on a reasonable amount of condition.
Mr Grigg assured producers that, from inquiries made in the United Kingdom, third grade meat would, if its export continued, do invalculable harm to the good name of the Dominion. “It is imperative that the quality of our produce be maintained, and if possible improved, if we are to survive the test which will surely come when world production returns to normal.” He said killings of third grade sheep and lambs during the season amounted to 205,553 carcasses, which was 1.3 per cent, of the tonnage *uf meat killed for export.
