INDIAN MARKET
FOR NEW ZEALAND PRODUCE. REFRIGERATED SHIPS NEEDED. The native people of India know a great deal about New Zealand, and have sufficient faith in this country to invest money here. Thia is the experience of Mr. W. McArthur, chairman of New Zealand Redwood Forests, Ltd., who, with Mrs. McArthur, returned from a year’s business visit to India by the Ulimaroa. Discussing possibilities for extended trade between India and New Zealand, Mr. McArthur said that during the past 10 years New Zealand and Australia had imported frqpr India goods worth £30,000,000 more than India had taken from them. “We should strive to send a larger percentage of our produce to India,’’ Mr. McArthur added. “There is a wonderful market awaiting it. One prominent merchant in Calcutta ‘.egged me to send him some New Zealand butter, reports of the fame of which had reached him.” Export of pioduce to India was impossible ui e’er present conditions. First, we needed refrigerated ships and the certainty of refrigerated space at the poris of India. However, from his inquiries he gathered that India was williig to absorb as much butter, cheese and frozen meat as it was possible for New Zealand to send.
