SAMPLES of Samoa’s new coconut cream have reached England, and we are informed that a preliminary survey of large and small retailers indi cates general satisfaction with the pro duct. Samples from the same batch that went to England have been subjected to “incubation” b£ the manufacturing com pany’s chemists in New Zealand, and are reported satisfactory as regards sterility, emulsion and taste.
It is claimed that these tests prove that the cream can be shipped as general cargo, and will not deteriorate because of heat.
The original company (Tropical Foods Development Co., Ltd., of 29 Burwood Crescent, Remuera, Auckland, NZ) is reported to be considering requests to manufacture under licence, from other areas, as the limited quantity of nuts in Samoa and the facilities for manufacture at present are not likely to satisfy all demands.
As well as the present market in fat starved Europe, there should be, in normal times, a market for the product in the Americas, India, China, etc.
