Export of Apples

When crop estimates indicated that the yield would be below expectations, the quantity for export was reduced to 250,000 cases. In spite of repeated representations to the British Ministry of Food, no refrigerated shipping space could be made available, preference being given ito meat and dairy produce Inquiries had been received from other overseas markets, notably Canada, Brazil, Sweden and Singapore, but no apples had been exported to these countries.
