DAIRY PRODUCE
WORLD CONSUMPTION. [by CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] LONDON, December 30. “Since the beginning of the century the 'world trade in butter has shown rapid and continuous expansion, but it receded slightly in 1936, states the Imperial Economic Committee’s report on dairy produce. Britain took over four-fifths of the world imports, compared with two-thirds of it in 1930. The imports of other countries declined substantially, owing to restrictive measures. The consumption of butter in 1936 in Britain was 25 pounds pei’ head per annum; in Denmark 20.13 lbs., in France also 20.13 lbs., in Germany 171bs, and in America 171bs. New Zealand and Ireland were the highest consumers of butter with over 401bs per head. The consumption of cheese in Britain is declining, states the report. This contrasts with the trend of Europe, where it has increased. The world export of eggs fell 27 per cent, between 1930 and 1936, Britain taking more than half of the total world exports. The egg consumption is highest in Ireland, which averages three hundred eggs per head per annum, as compared with Britain’s 158 per head.
