HONEY BOARD
ADVANCE PAYMENT TO PRODUCERS PRODUCTION PROSPECTS By Telegraph —Press Association AUCKLAND, November 19. The Honey Control Board’s first progress payment for 1934 export will be made this week on the basis of 3d per lb for best white. It is too early to estimate correctly the probable final results for the season, but the Board is confident that last season’s figure of 4 5-3 d for best whites will be reached and probably exceeded. “For the last two seasons there has been a record production in England, and honeys from other exporting countries have flooded the British market,” said the chairman, Mr J. R. Butland. “Large quantities of best Russian honeys are offering at from 23/- to 29/-, duty paid. On the best possible basis the return to producers cannot exceed Id per lb on these prices. In spite of these factors, the Board has not only maintained but increased the return to producers to last year’s basis of 4 5-8 d for similar honeys. The drop in New Zealand has been unusually small during the last three seasons, but indications at present point to a record for the coming season.”
