MALACCA

The trade is almost entirely with Singapore and the Federated Malay States. The cultivation of tapioca has hitherto been the principal industry, an area of about 40,000 acres being under tapioca cultivation, but Rubber is now extensively planted and several large companies have been floated to buy up small estates. The cultivation of tapioca and gambier is declining rapidly in favour of coconuts and rubber. The export of rubber in 1911 was 16,950 piculs, as compared with 6,700 pieuls in 1910, the value of the export being increased from $2,700,000 to $1,370,000. It was estimated that there were 80,000 acres under rubber at the end of 1911, The total value of the imports and exports for 1910 and 1911 are given below :—
