§ Mr. Rees-WilliamsOn 19th February there were still in Nigeria 47,500 tons of groundnuts from the production of the crop year ending in October, 1947, of which 14,000 tons were at port. I expect shipment to be completed by the end of April. Some 20,000 tons of the new crop now being collected have already been shipped.
