DAIRY PRODUCE GRADED FOR EXPORT
THE following figures showing quantities of dairy produce graded for export during July and for the 12 months ended July 31, 1950, with comparative figures for the same month and 12-monthly period of 1949, have been compiled by the Dairy Division of the • Department of Agriculture from figures supplied by divisional officers at the various grading ports:—
If these figures are converted into butterfat equivalent, there is an increase of 0.860 per cent, in butterfat graded for the 12 months as compared with the corresponding period of the preceding season. It should be noted that the above figures refer only to butter and cheese graded for export, and that owing to diversions which may take place from time to time, they are not necessarily a true indication of production trends.
