It may be news to most of our people to hear that last year we exported about Y.200000 worth of apples to England, India and South America. Our country raises annually about Y.30,000,000 worth of apples. If improvements are made in methods of packing and transport! convinced that we ci export value of this article to not only millions but tens of millions of yen a year.
Do our people know that in 1938 Japan produced Y.250,000000 worth of eggs, of which any Y.300,000 worth was exported, to Britain Hawaii and Germany? In contrast with this negligible amount, Britain imports annually about Y.170.000,000 worth of eggs and Germany more than Y.100,000,000.
I learn that even last year we could have sold about Y.4000,000 worth of eggs abroad, if we had gone into the er more carefully. If the government will encourage the raising of hens, specially by a subsidy for their food, and if systematic improvements e made in packing, inspection and transportation, especi igeration, I think we can increase our egg exports to tens of million yen worth a year.
Japanese butter is excellent and very popular among foreign people. Last year our empire produced B tween Y.5,000,000 and Y.6.000,000 worth of butter, but exported only Y.820,000, to Britain and other countries. Britain and Germany import annually about Y.800.000,000 and ¥.150,000,000 worth of butter, respectively.
The staple food of the Japanese people is rice, with which butter is not needed, so I hope that in this period of emergency our people will not eat butter, thus releasing the whole of our output for export. N we increase our production of butter, we can sell large quantities abroad
