According to provisions of Part 5, concerning the marketing of dried fruits, the Minister may by Notice published in the Gazette determine the maximum proportion of the dried fruits produced in any season which may be marketed within New South Wales otherwise than by way of sale to a winery or distillery for the purpose of manufacture of spirits or wine.
