In the annual report of the N.Z. Dairy Produce CJontro-1 Board it says the suggestion made that New Zealand is not exploiting other markets than Great: Britain is not borne , out. For the period from July 1, 1931, to June 31,1932, there were shipped to: —lndia 1663 boxes of butter, Burma 314, Ceylon 9-22, Malaya .1225, Dutch Eiast Indies 830, Philippines 576, Shanghai and Hong Kong 2048, Japan 1215. These quantities have gone forward in small, regular shipments over the period named. Those concerned-- in thh trade state that the business does not pay 'them, hut rather than lose the connections, and in the hope of ultimately increasing business, they a,re ,continuing to- supply their agents at these points. On the whole the trade has been declining, largely due to the Pbonomic dopresisidn-., and to the keen Australian competition, together with ' the lack of direct shipping to several Eastern points. Australia possesses enormous advantages over NeW Zealand in. her closer proximity to the East with a regular steamer service, ’ addled to a high favourable exchange rate, and an export bonus . under the Paterson plan. The '’exchbd&b' u ‘advantages' will .disappear in time, but Australia must always -retail) a prifieuadva-ntage. Looking at the Eastern positiofi' generally, it i§ apparent flint . p-rfe' must always ho the determining factor, assuming quality is approximately equal. The other point lies in the fact that the hugs populations of the East comprise ' mainly peonies on a bare subsistence standard of living, and many yenrs must elapse before their purchasing power enabler, them to take high-class products such .as butter, and to a lesser extent, cheese. The admirable report of New Zealnrds’ Trade Commissioner in Australia., on his visit to the East, stresses the above points. The board, however, is'.- anxious to foster whatever trbjde may he possible by -any means in its power, and in addition-,,t0 arranging for a film of the industry', to be sent to the B»«b, is now spending a sum in advertising our produce throughout the East. Dairy farmers dan -rest. assured that the board is watching the Eastern position very : carefully, and glndlv co-operates in any movement which will extend the trade in this direction.
