Fruit Cool Store
ENDING years of discussion, work finally started in January on the foundations of the central fruit cool-store at Rarotonga. But, according to the official Cook Island press news, “it will be some considerable time before any boxing or framework rises above the ground.”
Most of the freezing machinery was installed two years ago, when the Administration’s new freezer and fresh food store was built. The export fruit cool-store will operate from most of the same machinery, and is intended as a holding store for fruit which matures between the arrivals of export ships.
