Harvested
Port Moresby, June 30.
rIS year the Agricultural De partment’s kenaf seed crop at Laloki near Port Moresby will yield around 10 tons of quality seed.
Harvesting is now in progress and should be finished by about the middle of July.
The anticipated yield will be sufficient for government and private kenaf growers’ require ments for the coming season, and will provide seed for 600 acres.
The current season’s good return is in contrast to last year when an unfavourable growing season re sulted in a crop failure, and new seed had to be imported from abroad.
