HANDLING OF MEAT
FARM GATE AND SHIP PRICE TO BE DETERMINED A question by a farmer as to “what tho Government is doing with regard to the rake-off between the farm gate and f.0.b.” in the purchase of meat for sale to the United Kingdom Government was answered by the Minister of Marketing, the Hon. W. Nash, in a radio broadcast..
The Minister said' that the freezing companies, the Meat Board and Government representatives had been in negotiation for the purpose of determining the price which would be paid for work between the farm gate and delivery on hoard ship. His previous answer on the same point was repeated by the Minister in reply to a Motueka farmer, who asked who would get the profit on wool sold by Britain outside Britain.
“The answer is that New Zealand’s portion of the profit will go to the farmer,” Mr. Nash said.
