Manawatu Herald SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 1921. BUTTER QUALITY.
A POINT about the dairy industry that the Mercantile Gazette insists should receive attention is quality. The paper remarks: “The Government subsidy of 2d per Hi. to factories supplying the local market is to be discontinued, and that is to be commended. There is to be a free market for butter, and no fault can be found with that.. The dairymen very rightly expect to receive London parity for the butter marketed in the Dominion, but. and this is so very conveniently overlooked, the butter consumer in New Zealand expects London parity in quality, that is to say, the butter sold locally must pass through the Government stores in the same way as export butter, and be graded in the same way, so that the consumer will pay London parity in price, and receive London parity in quality. In the past the consumer has paid the price, but has not received tho quality; he has been shamefully exploited, and an end must be put to that.”
