Limited supply of flatland is the most serious physical. problems. Except for the marrow valley floor, the area is rather hilly. lills, like the Castle Peak fill, are found -flanking both the cast- ern and western sides of the valley.

Other factors such as the long time required to Lake for a return and the require÷ent of abun- dant labour are also dia- couraging,

It is obvious that such of the former rubber land has been replaced by the growth of oil valu. The increase in oil palx acreage is due to the increased de- mand in the crop, - which can be used in producing a great varieties of products like margarine, soap and coszetics The labour required is only about half of that of rubber.

Some land for coconut plantation is also replaced by oil pain.

At the saze time, there is the introduction of new plantation crops like cocoa and anger cane. This is mainly due to the government's policy to diversify fara crops and to stablize the market price.

Due to the hilly nature of the conurbation, there is an insufficient supoly

which in turn encourages vertical develoment of buildings. High-rising com- plex with small dwelling units are found..

order to achieve regional self-sufficiency, the dove- lopment of local industries which were closely linked with local agriculture was the first step. Industries. like the production of farm tools, fertilizers, bricka, cezent and steel were deve loped to encourage the exploitation of local sources. Key cities as industrial centres for gional development were ea- tablished, such as Shanghai, Lanchow-Sian and Urunchi ae the industrial hearts of Yangtze Delta, Central China and N.W. China respectively.

·Such a development plan, of course, was also planned to redistribute population in China, te improve standard of living and to integrate ninority

races.
