BEEKEEPERS CONFER
MARKETING PROBLEMS PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS [ Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, July 27. Reference to the problems of marketing confronting the honey producers was made by Mr. P. A. Hillary, of Taukau, president, in opening the nineteenth conference of the National Beekeepers’ Association of New Zealand. He dealt with overseas and local markets, and spoke of the failure of competitive open marketing which, he said, was so serious that beekeepers were almost unanimous in a determination to organise marketing on sound, economic lines, and endeavour to stabilise prices at a reasonable payable level. He said the economic position had improved. As a result in the shortage of the crop last season, next season should open without any carry-over, as there is only enough honey to last until the 1933 crop arrived in England. The following resolution, by Mr. R. H. Nelson (Otorohanga), was carried unanimously: “That this conference of honey producers 'expresses its complete confidence in (he Export. Marketing Board, and we call upon the Board to exercise its full powers provided by the Act to protect, our overseas market.” A deputation subsequently waited on the Minister of Agriculture and placed before him the views of the conference on the marketing question.
