DRIED bananas or banana figs, com mercially named “Dri-dated bananas” as manufactured by the Government concern. New Zealand Re paration Estates, should command a market in New Zealand and elsewhere when the dollar crisis prevents importa tion of dried Californian fruit into New Zealand.
NZ Reparation Estates have a large stock of dri-dated bananas on hand at present, and in this sideline have made a good profit, amounting to some £B,OOO, during last year.
The establishment of an up-to-date hospital in Tahiti, as well as a sana torium, is made possible by a French official grant of 25.000,000 francs. Plans are to be prepared.
