Apia, May 5.
BANANA quotas for the March “Maui Pomare” and the April “Matua” and “Maui Pomare” were increased ow ing to a shortage of exportable bananas in Niue Island. Over 26,000 cases were shipped by the three boats and pro ducers will thus receive cash payments amounting to more than £6,600.
Probably, for the first time in Samoan history, export values for bananas will exceed the values of copra and cocoa in 1938.
