ABSTRACT
The home production of meat for the market is not easy to describe briefly. The frozen meat from Australia and New Zealand is not in peace time unloaded on to the market in quite the same regular way as the supplies from South America. Meat sent from Australia and New Zealand, however, is forwarded only after inquiries have been made in London and a price actually agreed between the agent of the packing company and the wholesaler. Supplies from New Zealand are regulated by the New Zealand Meat Producers Board set up in 1922, which not only seeks by means of prizes and competitions to improve the quality of meat produced, but also regulates the shipments to the principal market-the United Kingdom-and advertises New Zealand products there. The marketing of Australian meat is regulated in a similar way by an organisation of producers-although, as in the case of New Zealand, the actual export is controlled by packing companies.
