26/6 a Ton
Suva. Dec. 15.
LOCAL buying prices for copra at Suva and Levuka have been increased by £l/6/6 a ton, bringing the price of FMS grade up to £3B a ton, and Planta tion grade to £3B/5/6 a ton.
More frequent ships and a decrease in the local costs of handling copra through savings in interest and other charges, has led to an accumulation of funds by the management committee of the Copra Board. This accounts for the increased price to producers. The price paid by the British Ministry of Food has not been altered.
