JOHORE
1381
1929 amounted to 1,620,868 piculs, valued at $74,712,411, against 1,024,884 piculs in 1928, valued at $44,234,992. A remarkable feature of the rubber industry in this State is the large amount of land taken up by Japanese. In 1929, 593,860 piculs of copra, valued at $5,564,997, and 227,257 piculs of areca nuts, valued at $1,644,360, were exported.
At the present time the principal exports of Johore are the carefully cultivated rubber, copra, gambier, pepper and areca-nuts, and the natural products of tin, timber, rattans and damar. For almost all such produce Singapore is the port of shipment.
Johore is rich in iron ore, and a mine is being successfully worked by Japanese in Batu Pahat and 743,209 tons of the ore were exported in 1929. The first valuable discoveries of tin were made in the valley of Jemaluang, a small river flowing into the China Sea near Mersing, and there are indications of the presence of tin ore that may be worked at a profit at various places between Jemaluang and the Sedili. The export of tin ore in 1929 amounted to 15,675 piculs.
