CANNED PRODUCTS
AN EXPANDING INDUSTRY. POSSIBILITIES IN DOMINION. The production of canned and bottled fruit is one of the fastest-grow-ing industries in America. A decade ago the entire production of preserved fruits and juices of all kinds amounted to only about a million cases a year. In 1937 the production was 25,000,000 cases, and the industry is only just getting into its stride to cope with the increasing demand. In New Zealand we can a few preserves, which are generally too expensive for people to use extensively, but this method of preservation offers great possibilities of disposing of surplus crops, in bumper years, which might be exploited mpre extensively. That canned fruits are equally as nourishing as fresh is questionable, but in view of the popular demand abroad for foods in this form we should study its possibilties here. Canned butter, cheese, milk, fruit, jam, vegetables, meat, fish, oysters, crayfish, soup and a hundred other lines might be put on the English and Continental, as well as the Eastern markets, where the tin-opener is becoming the most used kitchen utensil.
