COPRA SUPPLIES
The prohibitive price of copra were it put on the market in this country was mentioned by Mr Ffitch at the Aid for Britain meeting on Thursday. Supplies were controlled from Britain where the material was used for making margarine, he said. The cost of copra landed in New Zealand would be about £25 per ton whereas before the war it had been sold to farmers at the price of £8 10s per ton. Besides taking badly needed food from Britain the use of copra as a pig food was uneconomical.
