Bananas To Canada

From Our Own Correspondent SUVA. August 8.

WHEN the Canadian-Australasian liner Aorangi makes her first post-war call at Suva in August she will pick up 1,000 bunches of Fijian bananas for Canada, plus 200 coses of bananas packed in hands.

Packing in hands is an experiment for Fiji as all bananas which go to New Zealand (the principal market) are taken from the bunches and packed individually in cases.

A minimum price of 3/- a bunch of eight hands or over has been fixed for the purchase of bananas from Fijians for shipment to Canada.
