Tobacco Price Rise Promises Boost for Local Growers
At a Sydney conference last month local growers represented by Association President F. O. Felstead backed a proposal to raise average leaf prices by 20 percent for 1946 plus a 25 percent margin on gross proceeds for 1947 to cover higher costs. The Prices Commissioner approved the basic schedule, boosting the six year average from about 28.4d to 44d per lb, signaling a large expansion in production. Officers of the Western Australia Tobacco Association hailed the decision as highly beneficial for the industry.
