The trade is largely with Singapore and the Federated Malay States, but rubber is shipped fortnightly by Japanese mail steamers to Europe. The cultivation of tapioca was formerly the principal industry, but rubber is now extensively planted, several large companies having taken over a number of small estates. The cultiva- tion of tapioca and gambier is declining rapidly in favour of coconuts and rubber, there being 200,000 acres under rubber and 48,133 acres growing coconuts, pineapple and other fruits. The total value of foreign imports and exports of Malacca for the year 1933 were $4,507,000 & $8,441,000 respectively.
