Dairy Produce Graded for Export
THE following figures showing quantities of dairy produce graded for export during August 1954, with comparative figures for the same month of 1953, have been compiled by the Dairy Division of the Department of Agriculture from figures supplied by divisional officers at the various grading ports:— BUTTER Tons Percentage Period Creamery Whey Total inc. or dec. August 1954 . . .. . 9,276 117 -. 9,393 August 1953 .. 9,428 118 9,546 Increase or decrease .. —152 —I —153 —1.603 Butter in store at 31 August 1954 was 4,690 tons CHEESE Tons Percentage Period White Coloured Total inc. or dec.

The above figures refer only to butter and cheese graded for export, and owing to diversions which may take place from time to time they are not necessarily a true indication of production trends.
