New regulations fixing the price for raw tobacco came into operation last week, and will remain in force until March 31, 1937. The main provision of the regulation is as follows:—“No raw tobacco shall be sold by the grower or purchased from him at less than one shilling per pound free on board ship Motueka or Nelson in the case of tobacco grown in the Motueka or Nelson districts respectively, and in the case of tobacco grown in any other district at less than one shilling per pound free on board ship or free on rail at the port or railway station which is nearest to the place at which such tobacco is grown. Notwithstanding anything in the provisions of the last preceding clause, the Minister may, in any case where he considers it proper so to do, authorise the sale and purchase of tobacco at a price less than the price fixed."
