SWATOW

809

The foreign trade of Swatow has never been large. Tea and sugar were formerly the principal exports, but the tea trade here, as in other China ports, has to a very large extent passed away. Increased attention is being given to the cultivation of vegetables, fruit, indigo and tobacco leaf. It is thought probable that in the near future minerals will assume increased importance in the export trade of this port, as prospecting discloses more of the latent wealth of the district. The net value of the trade of the port coming under the cognisance of the Foreign Customs for 1926 was Hk. Tls. 85,873,105, as compared with Hk. Tls. 71,505,772 in 1925, Hk. Tls. 85,677,489 in 1924, and Hk. Tls. 41,839,257 in 1923.
