HONEY INDUSTRY
WEST COAST PRODUCERS’ VIEWS [ Per Press Association. ] GREYMOUTH, Oct. 22. A representative meeting of Westland beekeepers to-night adopted resolutions opposing state control and marketing with centralised packing and licensing of packers because they expected an increase in costs and an inferiority of the standard as a result of blending, causing decreased consumption on the New Zealand market; also demanding that full details of the proposed legislation be submitted to a referendum of all producers.
The meeting also passed a resolution stating that the export, market is being subjected to distributive restriction under the Honey Control Board, by the removal of which exporters would obtain better returns and the surplus of local production could be absorbed profitably by the export market.
