ONION TRADE PROBLEM
With onions selling retail at 2d per Ib. which is the equivalent of 18s 8d per cwt, growers at Pukekohe, who still have some 500 tons of good quality stocks in store and are finding them hard to quit at even 7s a cwt, feel that the market is treating them cavalierly, reports the "Herald." Mr. P. A. Miller, president of the Franklin Produce Growers' Association, states that he had found Californian onions to the fore at the present high retail price. New Zealand grown were not in a position to attract the eye so readily. "I found that the quality of the lo;al product was rather better than the imported." he added. Both consumers and growers were being heavily penalised by the present position, he added. \
