Boost for N. Caledonian Coffee Industry

A SCHEME which should be an incentive to young people to stay on the land has been sub mitted to the Conseil General of New Caledonia by the coffee grow ers’ association.

The Association suggests the pay ment of a bounty of twenty francs (about 2/6) for each new coffee tree planted; the money to be paid in instalments over a period of five years.

The Conseil General has shown: great interest in the plan.
