NEW ZEALAND FRUIT
United States Market Opened Press Association —Copyright Wellington, May 11. The Minister of Agriculture, the Hon. C. E. Macmillan, announced to-day that the United States market had been opened to New Zealand fruit under permit and subject to inspection on arrival. Previously the United States had prohibited the imports of New Zealand fruit on the ground that the Mediterranean fly had been present and might re-ap-pear, and that New Zealand was importing fruit from countries where this particular fly was present. The duty at present imposed by America was 25 cents per 501 b. case on apples and i cent per lb. on pears. The Minister said that the action of America should provide a valuable market for New Zealand fruit. The information had been communicated to the Fruit Board but the present export season was probably too far advanced to enable much, if any, business to be done this year. The removal of the restrictions, however, would enable full preparation to be made for next season.
