Abolition Of Apple And Pear Board
Because the Apple and •• Pear Marketing Board in its present form "has outlived its usefulness," it ♦ should be replaced by a growers' organisation to concentrate soley on fruit grown for export, says a remit considered at the National Party's annual conference in Dunedin. Put forward by the Taupo electorate, the remit says that existing regulations prohibit retailers buying direct from growers, meaning that all apples and pears must go through the board and then the market. This leads to "an overall excess in distributive and administrative costs." Average annual domestic consumption of fruit has dropped since inception of the board "because prices far exceed a realistic figure." The remit claims that abolition of the board would give growers liberty to sell their produce "to whom they please at a price mutually agreed on by the grower and the purchaser whether local or overseas." r
