Too Much On Food Imports
The BSIP last year imported nearly 400 tons of meat (three quarters of it in tins), 170 tons of fish (nearly all of it in tins) and 2,400 tons of rice. Total value was £400,000.
“All this we could produce locally,” said the BSIP Financial Secretary, Mr. L. M. Davies, in December. “It is money we can ill-afford to pay to producers overseas so that we can feed ourselves here with goods which we could produce ourselves. The production of biscuits and eggs locally shows what can be done.
We hope others will follow this example.”
