Railway waggons sold to Nauru Island
PA Auckland The Export-Import Cor-; poration has made two big sales to Nauru Island. The general manager of the corporation (Mr C. B. Stanworth) said yesterday that the orders, both to be filled by the Auckland engineering company, A. and G. Price, Ltd, were probably the tip of a “trade iceberg” with Nauru. They are for 40 railway waggons worth $280,000 and conveyer belt trimmings worth $20,000.
| Total exports to Nauru i from New Zealand in the 12 months to June 30 last were $663,000, while SI6M of phosphates were shipped here from Nauru. Mr Stanworth said that a new attitude towards trade with New Zealand had been indicated by the President of Nauru (Mr Hammer Deroburt) during a visit here last year. With the high per capita income of the 8500 people on Nauru, who ranked sec-
ond only to oil-rich Kuwait, New Zealand’s exports could increase to several times the level they reached in the year to June 30 last, said Mr Stanworth. The corporation itself had secured other orders from the island recently, including 2500 day-old chicks for the island’s poultry farm. One of its smallest export orders will leave New Zealand at the end of this month for Nauru — four pedigree pigs also destined for the poultry farm.
