The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 69

Dairy Produce

Dairy Produce.

Dairy produce has made a large expansion since the census report of 1886. The exports page 20 of butter and cheese Were greater in value in 1888 by £87,685 than in 1887—the export of butter increasing from £54,921 to £118,252, and of cheese from £54,562 to £78,918. The country and climate are eminently adapted for dairy farming, and this industry has a great future before it, as there is a very large urea of forest land in the colony capable of being converted into grazing ground for stock. As the official pamphlet on the manufacture of cheese, butter, and bacon in New Zealand, dedicated to Sir Frederick Whitaker, remarked: "The mildness of the climate and the fertility of the soil conduce to render New Zealand for all practical dairy purposes preferable to either England or America."
