Samoa Ships Cocoa And Copra
p. 46 · Read in the full issue
THE large accumulation of 'copra in Apia sheds has at last been relieved by the shipment to England of 2,200 tons of copra by the SS Tweed bank, on September 23 and of 3,000 tons by the SS Forestbank, on October 16.
This leaves 2,000 tons of copra in store for which transport should be available before the end of the year.
Cocoa exports also have been moving freely to Australia and the USA, the FOB price paid being about £l5O per ton. The autumn crop has started to come in and is expected to be exception ally heavy. It is possible that it may establish a record.
