BONER BEEF SCHEDULE INCREASED
PA WELLINGTON, Dec. 16. The Minister of Marketing, Mr Cullen, announced yesterday that the export schedule prices for all boner beef are to be increased by 2s 6d per 1001 b to 31s. This is compensation for the loss sustained by producers through the elimination of fair average quality of cow beef, which is no longer acceptable to the United Kingdom Ministry of Food for emergency use as part of the ration. Cow beef formerly graded f.a.q. will in future be included with boner quality used for manufacturing purposes. The chairman of the New Zealand Meat Producers’ Board, Mr G. H Grigg, upon being asked for his views, stated that although this grade of cow beef had been established as part of the bulk purchase contract with the Untied Kingdom during the 1944-1945 season, the United Kingdom Ministry of Food had from time to time expressed dissatisfaction with it, and during recent negotiations had decided to cancel it. The adjustment now authorised was obtained by drawing upon the meat industry stabilisation account and could be regarded as satisfactory.
