Both from Patea and New Plymouth three shipments have been made this season. New Plymouth has exported 28,241 boxes of butter, against 4265 boxes shipped from Patea, but Patea shows a much, stronger position in respect of cheese, having shipped 26,039 crates, as against T662 craes from New Plymouth.
