N.Z. APPLE EATING
Decrease In Figures
(N.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON. May 9. New Zealanders were eating fewer apples than they used to, said Mr M. J. Beasley, president of the New Zealand Federation of Retail Fruiterers and Greengrocers, in Wellington today. He was presenting the federation’s submissions to the committee of inquiry into apple and pear marketing. In 1947, there were 44 apples a head of population eaten, in 1949 there were 42 eaten and in 1956 the figure fell to 37. A slight climb to 39 was noted in 1958 and 1959. Diminished consumption was not common to New Zealand. Other countries were finding a similar trend. It was in the interests of grower and fruiterer in New Zealand to see that people ate fresh apples. The future would find retailers faced with larger stocks of apples and pears. Some export markets were disappearing and production was increasing, he said.
