BACON STOCKS
EXTENSION OF BRITISH PURCHASE. DISPOSAL OF EIGHT THOUSAND TONS. Advice Jias been received by Mr W. A. Phillips, chairman of directors of the New Zealand Co-operative Pig Marketing Association, that, arising from Britain’s recent agreement to purchase an increased tonnage of this season’s meat, the British Ministry of Food has agreed to the inclusion of all New Zealand bacon stocks on hand as at April 12. This represents approximately 8.000 tons, and with these stocks out of the way this disposes of the difficulty which would have arisen in respect of next season’s baconer production had it been necessary to consume existing stocks on the local market.
This unexpected gesture by the British Ministry of Food will be a welcome relief to producers, whose production outlook for next season has thereby been greatly improved. There is, however. no indication of any change in the situation in respect of next season's production for export, of baconer pigs.
