Trade With Nz

From Our Own Correspondent SUVA. April 20.

THE “Fiji Times” has recently been describing some hitherto little known but successful all-Fijian en terprises. , . - The latest is the opening up of a trade with New Zealand in ginger pickled m brine, started by the Fijian Co-operative Market Association in response to an in quiry sent direct to the association by an Auckland firm last year.

The first experimental shipment of six barrels was processed at Auckland and was such a success that the next letter asked for 100 tons of ginger-m-brine.

This was too big an order, taut the asso ciation is sending all that can be pre pared.
