What Happens To Fiji

A CONSIGNMENT of 750 cases of bananas from Fiji arrived at Wel lington, NZ, in the Tamaroa on October 2, in such poor condition that the Marketing Department refused to accept delivery. The bananas were “boiled”—still unripe, but soft and unfit for human consumption. There were also about 150 cases of tomatoes which deteriorated during the voyage. They were consigned to Auckland, but were not unloaded in Wellington.
