EXPORT OF EGGS
NEW ZEALAND’S POSITION. Mr F. C. Brown, chief poultry’ instructor, dealing with the above subject in the latest number of the New Zealand Journal of Agriculture says:—The shipping of eggs from New Zealand to the London market has now passed the experimental stage. It has been proved beyond doubt that our eggs can hold their own against those of other competing countries when nothing but good-sized and good quality produce is shipped. If eggs are to be exported during the coming spring, when they will return the best possible paying values, there must be no such thing as “near enough” in regard to quality. No egg should be packed unless weighing 20z., and perfect in all other respects, including clean shells. Not only this, but the overhead charges as compared with those obtaining hitherto must be reduced. If such necessary reforms are to be brought about, and the export trade placed on a sound footing; early organisation and joint action on the part of producers is imperative. The sooner producers realise that they cannot afford to be disunited when it comes to exportation the better will it be for their own pockets and the industry as a whole.
