Food Facts No.48 Fish prices controlled from June 30th

1 Jan 1941

FISH 123 * PRICES CONTROLLED from June 30th Fish is in short supply. Fish will remain in short supply. No amount of price control and no amount of distribution control can alter that. BUT the Ministry of Food has controlled from June 30 the price of what fish is available. This control reduces the price drastically but in such a way that the fishermen themselves will receive a larger share of the lowered price. Auctions at the ports — where the longest purse has determined the price — will in general be abolished.
