PINE-APPLE INDUSTRY
DEVELOPMENT IN FIJI VIEWS OF AUCKLAND MAN ‘ I was rather surprised to find the business people of Suva so confidem” remarked Mr. F. A. Hellaby, who returned to Auckland from a business visit to Fiji this morning on the gara.. “Of course the people there are not troubled with the cost of living,” he continued. “They have recovered from the damage done by the recent hurricane, and are looking forward to a good year.” In the course of a chat Mr. Hellaby I spoke of the attempts to deveh p the \ pine-apple industry in Fiji. He says i that experimental plots have been planted and are doing very well/ and that the canning plant has beer most successful with its experiments. There is a feeling in Fiji, he says, that the canning and export of pineapples could be developed into a large industry. Business people there sav that a. better pine than that grown in Hawaii can be produced in Fiji. The climate and soil are suitable and if sufficient quantities are grown, the export trade can be developed with America and the British Dominions. Apart from that, the Fiji group is a Crown Colony.
