Canned Pines

Fiji Industry Booming

From Our Own Correspondent.

Suva, April 8.

THE packs of the two pineapple fac tories have come quite up to ex

pectations.

The West Coast Pines Ltd. have made their first shipment per Tolken to Europe, half of the 1,000 cases being consigned to London and half to Ger many.

The pack of the Fiji Pineapple Co., at Waidau, Ovalau, has reached 17,000 cases this time, and the produce is being eagerly bought by firms overseas.

Prices also have gone up a little. The Fiji canned pine probably surpasses anything in the world.
