MALAYA 25 YEARS BEHIND.
THE TIMES
"Antiquated" Plant For Canning Pineapples
Singapore, Oct. 10, Malaya's methods in pineapple growing and canning are all wrong. The machinery used in canning is of a type which was in use in America at least 25 years ago and is now antiquated, the raising of pineapples is on far too casual a basis, the quality of the fruit is not taken sufficient care over, and the system of sales is not a business-like one,
These were some of the home truths about the Malayan cam- ing industry which were told to members of the Singapore Rotary Club at their tiffin meeting at the Adelphi Hotel yester- day by Mr. G. S. Williamson, one of the directors of the Metal Box Company, of England, the biggest can-making concerns in the Empire who is on visit to Singapore.
