Mediaworks general manager Debby Cresswell with some of the handbags, with products inside, that have been dropped off in Gisborne so far for the Love Grace handbag appeal. The appeal was set up by the family of British woman Grace Millane, who was murdered in New Zealand on the eve of her birthday in December 2018. People are asked to donate handbags filled with essentials a woman would need if she was escaping a violent relationship and could not go home. Most of the bags, which can be dropped off at Mediaworks and BNZ, will go to Women’s Refuge for the benefit of women in Tairawhiti. STORY ON PAGE 2

LAMB

A lull in frozen lamb trading to China coupled with strong demand for Easter chilled lamb traders has resulted in a slight increase in the proportion of chilled lamb leaving NZ shores in January. Just under 4900t of NZ chilled lamb was exported in January, well below the five- year average (6680t). Total lamb exports were 1950t higher than last January owing to high lamb slaughter rates. While chilled lamb exports to the UK were 110t fewer (-6 percent) than last January at 1600t, with Brexit concerns the key disruptor to this market. With higher-value chilled trade taking up a larger slice of the export pie, this has TRIUMPHANT TRIAL: The Matawai dog trial club staged a successful club event last Friday and Saturday.

The whole slowdown of China due to the coronavirus has leached its way into forestry markets. For around two weeks, the export trade essentially came to a halt given port workers weren’t there to unload shipments, while on-port stocks remained unmoving too. This led to export log values plummeting by a similar extent to what was witnessed during the log price collapse mid-2019 BUYING ALL GOATS – i.e CFR rates A-grade logs fell from US$122/JASm3 to US$105/JASm3 in ALL YEAR ROUND only a month.
