NEW EXPORT RECORDS
SHIPMENTS OF DAIRY PRODUCE BRITAIN A BIG CUSTOMER A new record in the dairy produce export trade is established by the shipments for the eleven months of the 1928-29 season ended June 30, the total being 152,594 to-ns of butter and cheese, compared with 139,233 tons for the corresponding period of last season, an increase of 13,361 tons. Butter shipments were 75,275 tons, an increase of 6,784 tons, and cheese shipments 77,319 tons, an increase of 6,577 tons. Details of the shipments for the 11 months period are shown in the following table supplied by the Dairy Board; BUTTER
It will be seen that Great Britain is the Dominion’s best CListomer, 80 per cent, of the butter and 99 percent. of the cheese having been shipped to London or West Coast ports of the United Kingdom. Australia, which last season took 3,010 tons of butter and 547 tons of cheese, scarcely comes into the picture this season, only six tons of cheese having been shipped to the Commonwealth during the 11 months. The loss of the Australian butter trade is doubly compensated for by the increased shipments of butter to Canada, 12,320 tons as against 6,592 tons last season. The imports of dairy produce into Great Britain from all sources during the six months ended June 30, afford the following comparison: 1929. 1928. 1927. Tons. Tons. Tons.
