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, several large companies having taken over a number of small estates. The cultivation of tapioca and gainbier is declining rapidly in favour of coconuts and rubber. The export of rubber in 1912 was 42,362 piculs, as compared with 16,948 piculs in 1911, the value of the export being increased from $4,371,644 to $10,353,914.
