Cacao cultivation, and its application to the Mandated Territory of New Guinea.

Abstract

The Mandated Territory of New Guinea is in the primary stages of development, and the cultivation of coco-nuts is one of the main sources of revenue. However, the economic conditions prevailing throughout the world during the period 1930-36 were such that the coco-nut industry was scarcely profitable, and, although conditions have since improved, nevertheless it has shown that this country cannot afford to rely solely on one crop.
