A NEW MARKET
DOMINION’S FRUIT UNITED STATES REMOVES BAN SCALE OF DUTIES (Per United Press Association.) • Wellington, May 11. The Minister of Agriculture announced to-day that the United States had been opened to New Zealand fruit under permit and subject to inspection on arrival. Previously the United States have prohibited the imports of New Zealand fruit on the ground that Mediterranean fly had been present and might reappear. Also that New Zealand was importing fruit from countries where this particular fly was present. The duty at present imposed by the United States is 25 cents per 501 b case of apples and J cent per lb pears. The Minister says the action of the United States should provide a valuable market for New Zealand fruit. The information has been communicated to the Fruit Board but the present export season is probably too far advanced to enable much, if any, business to be done this year. The removal of the restrictions however will enable full preparation to be made for next season.
