New Zealand Meat Board

To protect their own livestock industry these countries give limited access to New Zealand meat exports.

It also manages the Board's inherited financial reserves, which are ultimately owned by New Zealand's livestock farmers, for the benefit of industry projects.

This government sponsored body of New Zealand meat producers was set up to try to cope with the power of those combines.

At the far end of the chain it was proposed to appoint a London agency to be entrusted with the business of seeing to the disposal and proper marketing of New Zealand meat in England (Smithfield).
