HC Deb 27 January 1958 vol 581 c32W
Mr. Owen

asked the Secretary of State 1647 for the Colonies in which areas of the Northern Province of Nyasaland there are coffee co-operative societies; and what 1780 steps are being taken by the Government 1510 of Nyasaland to develop and encourage similar societies in other areas.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

There are two cooperative societies of coffee producers in the Northern Province of Nyasaland, one in Rumpi and one in Karonga. The Agricultural and Co-operative Departments of the Nyasaland Government are working closely together in pursuance of the Government's policy to encourage, where practicable, the expansion of coffee-growing in the Northern Province and also the introduction of the crop in the Central Province, where trials will be held during the coming season.
