Report on Mechanization of Agriculture Crops in New Guinea

Abstract

Following on my visit to New Guinea in February-March, 1952, an interim report was prepared dealing mainly with mechanization of kenaf production. This final report covers field mechanization problems associated with plantation crops, viz. coconuts, rubber, cocoa, coffee and miscellaneous crops such as kapok and tung nuts. It has been prepared in three separately bound sections; this one deals exclusively with coconut plantations.
