Calls to Organise Fruit Industry For WA Markets
Correspondence argues Western Australia must organise fruit production to reduce waste and boost exports. The writer urges state action backed by the Federal Government to establish three jam canning and hydrating plants in the Hills, South-West, and Great Southern districts and criticizes levies that raise production costs. The Imperial Government would buy surplus jam and dried fruit. WA imports dairy and canned fruit. Words attributed: W. A. Huggett.
