EXPORT OF PRODUCE.
CO-OPERATIVE MARKETING. WORK OF ASSOCIATION. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. The second annual meeting of the New Zealand Producers’ Co-operative Marketing Association, Ltd., was held at Wellington to-day. Mr? H. D. Forsyth (deputy chairman) presided and there was a representative gathering of shareholders present from the North and South Talande. The report and balance-eheet for the year were unanimously adopted. The retiring directors, Messrs. J. R. ■ Thacker (Canterbury), A. E. Jones 1 (Southland) and E. Harding (Hawke’s Bay), avere re-elected. Those present on behalf of factories whose outputs of dairy produce had been handled in the United Kingdom oy the London board expressed themselves more than satisfied with the results attained during the second year’s operations oi the association. They recognised that good work had been done in London by the board of directorfl, not only in regard to the prices realised, but in a reduction of the cost of handling a. distinct advantage had been attained.
The indirect gain and benefits to the producers throughout the Dominion by the inauguration of the scheme had been very great and Avith the control of a larger quantity of produce better and more stable prices Avould be ultimate!] obtained. In the first year of opera© tions 50 dairy factories’ outputs had been dealt with by the association and in the second year of its existence this had increased to 66. The quantity of produce handled by the association from these 66 factories represented one-ninth part of the total cheese exported from New Zealand and one-fortieth part of the butter. This was a clear indication that co-operative marketing was growing in favour. Probably the most important question considered by the meeting was the appointment of an organiser in. New Zealand with the object of bringing before the directors of dairy companies the benefits and advantages to ibe derived by linking up with the concern. A recommendation was made to the directors that this matter should receive their serious and earnest consideration at an early date.
