BACON STOCKS
BRITISH GESTURE AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE DISPOSAL OF 8000 TONS Advice has been received by Mr W. A. Phillips, chairman of directors of the New Zealand Cooperative Pig Marketing Association, that arising from Britain’s recent agreement to purchase an increased tonnage of this season’s meat, the British Ministry of Food has agreed to the inclusion of all New Zealand bacon stocks on hand as at April 12. This requires approximately 8,000 tons, and disposes of the difficulty which would have arisen in respect of next season’s baconer produce had it been necessary to consume existing stocks on the local market. This gesture by the British Ministry of Food will be a welcome relief for producers, whose production outlook for next season has been improved. There is, however, no indication of any change in the situation in respect of next season’s production for export of baconer pigs.
