FAT STOCK DISPOSAL ORDER.

ABOLITION PLEASES THF M4SAT BOARD. The New Zealand Meat. Board has pleasure in announcing thal, after repeated efforts in urging the Government to remove the Fat-Stock Disposal Order, this legislative restriction has been abolished. The position for the future is that producers are free to sell their fat stock where they please and to have it dealt with at whatever freezing works they may select. During the past four years rarmers have been forbidden to sell any stock intended for export to any person other than the person to whom the said stock was sold during the 1940-41 season. Further, they were compelled to send their stock to the same export slaughterhouse at which the stock was killed prior to the order coming into force. The fact that farmers are now freed from restrictions which, in the opinion of their trustees, the New Zealand Moat Producers’. Board, should never have been inflicted upon, them, will be pleasing news to every meat producer throughout the Dominion. The New Zealand Meat Producers* Board will continue to exercise a watching brief over fat stock prices during the forthcoming season to ensure that schedule rises occur as. a-d when justified. Producers will observe from a recent Press statement Issued by the Hon. Minister of Agriculture and Marketing that the Government expects meat operators to conform to the prices agreed upo-- from time to time with the Government and the board.
