N.Z. FRUIT CASES
“NOT SATISFACTORY” SAY GROWERS DELAYS IN DELIVERY It is in the delivery of the goods, and not in the quality or manufacture, that the New Zealand timber millers have failed to satisfy the requirements of the New Zealand Fruitgrowers’ Federtation, which has criticised its contract for fruit cases. In the annual report, presented to the Auckland provincial fruitgrowers to-day, it is stated that the arrangements entered into by the federation with some New Zealand millers for the supply of export cases to Nelson in place of imported cases, did not prove at all satisfactory, owing to deliveries being made long after contract time. “Growers generally would prefer to draw their supplies of local cases from New Zealand sources,” it says, “but it is unlikely that growers who ordered local cases from this source during the past season will take the risk again. “The advantages of the imported case for the Nelson district in particular are that it is dry, deliveries are made to contract, and the price is right. “Th© New Zealand product met two of these conditions, but failed badly on delivery, thus involving all concerned in considerable worry and expense.”.
