Frozen meat trade discussed at Paris Refrigerators Conference
Captain A W Pearse, part owner of the Pastoralists' Review, led six New Zealand, five Australian and two Patagonian meat companies at the Paris conference where 2800 delegates voted to delay frozen meat imports into France. He sees a coming wedge for Australia and New Zealand, notes France’s meat is low quality, and predicts tariff reform could tax Argentine meat, shifting contracts to British colonies. The next conference will meet in Vienna in October 1910.
