MALAYAN REVIEW
Malayan Exports
How this country has recovered from the depression period is reflected in the trade figures in the Malayan Agricultural Statistics list for 1936, compiled by Mr. D. H. Grist, Agricultural Economist, 8.8. and FM.S. The gross value of rubber exports, for example, was $303,- 314,838, roughly $50,000,000 more than 1935, and that in spite of the fact that in 1995 the total quantity of rubber exported was 690,319 tons as against 830,142 tons in 1936. Compare these figures with those of 1933-478,835 tons, value $77,907,551, and the then serious plight of a country so largely dependent on rubber for its prosperity it brought home very forcibly.
Figures for copra exports also show an appreciable improvement on the figures for the two previous years. In 1836 Malaya 154.541. tons reallised $16,823,310 whereas in 1935 we received only $15,120,891 for 172,212 tons.
These figures represent all coconut products, including fresh coconuts, of which the bulk is exported to Burma, and Coconut oil.
Imports Of Rice
The statistics are encouraging, as are those of the lesser· drawback, however, is that the country is still very largely dependent on imports for her staple food-rice-on which $32,207,427 was spent. inst year. But even here there is room for gratification, from Malaya's point of view, for that figure paid was for 533,795 tons, Whereas in 1929 we paid something like $67,439,829 for 551.881 tons of rice. Malaya's padi growing resources are not extensive, but there is reason to believe that this aspect of the country's well being is not being overlooked by the authorities concerned.
