The cultivation of tapioca was formerly the principal industry, but rubber is now extensively planted, several large companies having taken over a number of small estates. The cultiva- tion of tapioca and gambier is declining rapidly in favour of coconuts and rubber, there being 183,050 acres under rubber and 48,133 acres growing coconuts, pineapple and other fruits. The total values of the foreign imports and exports for 1919 and 1920 are given below:-
