Export Of Apples
The export of apples from New Zealand during the current season will be about 600,000 cases, said the chairman of the New Zealand Apple and Pear Marketing Board (Mr H. Turner). He said the major part of the exports would be going to the United Kingdom under contract to the Ministry of Food. Britain would receive almost 500,000 cases in all and the balance available for export would be disposed of to Canada and the Continent. There was also a small quantity for the United States. Mr Turner said the British authorities had been consulted on all the sales to countries outside, the United Kingdom and their agreement to the export arrangements had been obtained. “The crop for this season is expected to be considerably lighter than last year’s,” said Mr Turner. Consequently, exports have been reduced in order to ensure adequate supplies of apples and pears throughout the year on the local market.” — (P.A.)
