Factory For Samoa

FOLLOWING the decision of the NZ Government to purchase the whole of the copra output (some 4,000 tons) of the Reparation Estates in Samoa, it is announced that plans have been approved for the establishment of a desiccated coconut factory, probably near Apia. It is anticipated that when the Samoan plant is in full production the requirements of NZ’s confectionery trade, now all imported, will be obtained from her mandated territory. For some years past, desiccated coconut factories in Papua and New Guinea have exported their products to Australia.
