FRUIT EXPORTS
HIGHER PRICE SOUGHT BY GROWERS TO MEET INCREASED COSTS (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. The Government is to be asked to increase the guaranteed price for fruit exported from New Zealand by an amount sufficient to cover increases in wages and the cost of materials. A decision to this effect was made by the New Zealand Fruit-Export Control Board at its annual conference in Wellington yesterday. “We have to make our arrangements, financial and otherwise, for next season’s crop, and I think we should try to get an urgent decision on this question,” said Mr A. McKee (Nelson). In the cause of discussion, details were given of increased labour and other costs. The conference decided to ask the Government to give the guaranteed price at the growers' shed. Mr J. Arbuckle (Nelson) said the general public probably believed that growers received Ils a case for their fruit, whereas charges in New Zealand and overseas whittled the amount down to about 4s.
