The agricultural aspect of the coco-nut industry in the Mandated Territory of New Guinea

Abstract

The staple agricultural industry in the Mandated Territory of New Guinea is the cultivation of coco-nuts, and the, manufacture of coco-nut products such as copra, desiccated coco-nut, and coir fibre; the equity in the numerous plantations being considerable.

It will be shown in the course of this paper, that the outlook at present, relative to the future maintenance of production, will apparently depend to a large extent on the development of new areas.
