SUVA, July 5. rE British Ministry of Food has ad vanced the price of Fiji copra by £5/6/- per ton, Fijian currency. This is the result of representations made to the Ministry by the Governor of Fiji (Sir Alexander Grantham).
The Fiji Copra Board has announced therefore, that the local buying price in Suva and Levuka will be £23/10/6 for plantation grade copra, and £23/5/- for FMS grade. These price increases will take effect at once.
