New Guinea Cocoa
p. 12 · Read in the full issue
AUSTRALIAN confectionery manufac turing firms are taking a keener interest in the production of cocoa beans in New Guinea, since it oecame difficult to obtain supplies from other parts of the world. Some of these firms, prior to 1939, were doing what they could to assist the New Guinea industry, and one of these was Mac Robertsons, Ltd., of Argyle Street, Fitzroy, Melbourne.
A high executive of that company, writing to the “PIM,” says, “We would appreciate at any time your putting us in touch with growers of cocoa in the Territory. Although, owing to controls, it is a little difficult at present to deal direct with the grower, we may be able to make some useful contacts.”
New Guinea growers who wish to develop cocoa-production should write direct to Mac Robertsons.
