Production of Pigs ( Commenting on the pig industry, Mr W. A. Phillips, chairman of directors of the New Zealand Co-operative Pig Marketing Association, Limited, said it was estimated that 150,000 fewer pigs would be produced this season than last. This reduction, in view of the increased demand, had created a unique situation in the industry. Present indications were that no pigs would be exported to Britain this year and that there would be difficulty in maintaining present commitments to satisfy the requirements of the armed forces and the local market. In fact, a shortage was already envisaged.
