GOVT.'S NEW TEA CONTRACT
LONDON, TO-DAY.
AFTER DISCUSSIONS LASTING SIX MONTHS THE TERMS OF THE FINAL DRAFT OF THE NEW GOV- ERNMENT TEA CONTRACT ARE NOW UNDERSTOOD TO BE IN THE HANDS OF PROMINENT MEM- BERS OF THE TEA TRADE.
The new scheme is designed to
cover the period from January 1, 1940, Always Ready For Meals ! to February 15, 1941.
A certain overlapping with the short-term contract will thus result, inasmuch as teas manufactured up to December 31, 1939, will be eligible for participation in the new contract, provided shipment is effected with- in a reasonable time.
The contract price forming the basle-for payment to growers will be the average quotation in the producing years 1936, 1937 and 1938, and will be F.O.B. terms plus extra allowances for increas- ed costs.
These, however, have yet to be agreed upon between the various tea trade associations and the Ministry
of Food.
