TRADE WITH BELGIUM
A HOPEFUL OUTLOOK. POSSIBILITIES FROM TREATY. The possibilities of extending New Zealand’s trade with Belgium, as a result of the recently-signed treaty, are hopefullv viewed by the Consul for Belgium in Wellington, M. Armand Nihotte. Speaking at a dinner in Wellington, he said: “With a population of 8,130,000, Belgium’s external trade in 1931, in spite of the depression, will be approximately £400,000,000. The treaty with New Zealand will keep the gates of .that, not negligible market open to New Zealand exports.” The figures for 1930. of imports into Belgium of the class of products in which the Dominion was interested, were as follows: —40,000 tons of frozen meat, 10,000 tons of butter, 30,000 tons of cheese, 555 tons of honey, 5300 tons of tallow, 37,000 tons of hides and skins, 72,000 tons of greasy wool, and 15,350 tons of apples, or the equivalent of 850,000 cases of apples.
