BUTTER SALES TO EUROPE
Drop In Demand Reported
(New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, April 26. Butter sales to countries outside Europe are running at higher levels than last season, but sales to Continental countries in the eight months of the current season to the end of March are well down on the total at the corresponding date last year. This information is contained in the latest issue of the “Daily Marketing Bulletin.” At the end of March, butter sales to countries outside Europe (about 40) were 5100 tons, compared with 4300 tons 12 months before. Sales to the Continent were 2400 tons, compared with 14,700 tons at the end of March, 1956.
The drop in Continental sales this season is mainly due to the absence of orders from Eastern European countries. Of the other European countries which have bought in recent years, only Western Germany and Italy have so far this season placed orders.
The volume of sales to most. European countries outside the United Kingdom depends to some degree on the level of dairy production in these countries. When they have a good season, they import less than in years when domestic production is poor. During the last 12 months, conditions in Europe have been good and production in most countries has been fairly high.
