ONION IMPORTS
BY INTERNAL MARKETING DIVISION (United Pres* Association! CHRISTCHURCH, 13th June. All onion importations to the Dominion this year are to be controlled by the Internal Marketing Division and distribution made through the agencies formerly used, said the Director of Internal Marketing, Mr F. R. Picot, today. “The division is this year making arrangements to handle all importations,” said Mr Picot. “Supplies from overseas will not, however, be brought into the country till such time as stocks of New Zealand-grown onions are practically exhausted.” “In its handling of the onion trade,” Mr Picot continued, "the division is closely associated with the Onion Advisory Committee, which is advising on supplies, stocks on hand and distribut'on, in order that the interests of our local growers can be safeguarded. It may be as well to mention that distribution of shipments purchased by the division will be made through recognised channels which have handled the trade in the past.”
