Not So Sour
p. 143 · Read in the full issue
Mr. C. R. Walker, general manager of Fruit Distributors Ltd. of New Zealand makes this correction to our “Cooks Oranges Leave Sour Taste”, page 133, June “PIM”: “The statement in the last para graph ['From the above price growers have to find the cost of cases, about 7/6, and meet certain other costs’] is not correct.
“Cost of cases and other costs are not deducted from the growers' price but are additional costs making up the f.o.b. export price to approximately double the price payable to the growers. It is the f.o.b. price that Fruit Distributors pays,
not the growers’ price.”
