FRUIT CROP FOR 1945
Substantial Decline Reported A substantial decline in the 1945 fruit crop as compared with last year’s crop is indicated in general reports received by the New Zealand Fruit Marketing Council at its last two meetings. The Orchardist of New Zealand, official publication of the New Zealand Fruitgrowers’ Federation, says that the Fruit Marketing Council foresees difficulty in meeting the demand from all sources.
Severe hail damage in some fruitgrowing districts has had the effect of reducing the crop still further. Therefore, the council will have to consider what action is to be taken to accept fruit that has been damaged by hail. Substantially the same procedure for the disposal of the 1945 crop as that for 1944 will be followed, including the granting of the minimum guarantee of 6/- a case to the growers. An announcement to this effect follows representations made to the Minister of Marketing (Mr Roberts) and the Stabilization Commission since the last Dominion conference of the New Zealand Fruitgrowers’ Federation.
