Almost every community in this country stands to benefit. The result can be attained by: 1. Producing more of the kind of products the British consumer wants. 2. Keeping up a constant supply. 3. Maintaining quality standards. Through its Commercial Intelligence Service, this. Department will render valuable assistance to any exporter.
