Against that cost, each Government would receive copies for 
circulation among its officers, and an organ valuable as a reciprocal 
issue to other countries, from which valuable agricultural literature is 
supplied free, besides the value of the Journal for the promotion of 
the Agricultural industry in its territory. 
(2) ECONOMIC PROGRESS OF TANGANYIKA TERRITORY 
(Paper by the Director of Agriculture, Tanganyika—T.C.(C)Ag.10.) 
1922 and 1923. 
The order of the ten chief agricultural exports of the Territory 
(excluding wild rubber, for obvious reasons) in relation to their actual 
value, was now by no means the same as that in German times. The 
first, sisal, retained its priority; and (speaking of 1922) had reached 
one-half of its former output by weight. The place of the second, 
plantation rubber, had been taken by coffee, which now produced the 
one-fifth of the value of the ten chief exports previously given by the 
former. The third, hides and skins, partly through the entire lack of 
demand caused by the great decrease of prices in the world’s markets, 
had descended to sixth place (ninth in 1921). Cotton, the fourth, had 
been maintained at the same place; and copra, likewise, remained 
unaltered at the fifth. The sixth, ground-nuts, had risen to the third 
place; and beeswax, the seventh, had descended to tenth. In 1913 
coffee was as low as the eighth place instead of the second, with an 
export by weight almost exactly one-quarter of that in 1922. Simsim 
was ninth; now eighth. The tenth, ghee, like rubber, no longer 
appears among the first ten principal exports. In 1923 the order 
remained the same, except that groundnuts changed place with coffee, 
becoming second; and simsim rose to seventh place. 
Of these products, all after sisal had moved up one place through 
the loss of rubber; so that, with the loss of ghee, we have so far 
mentioned only eight of the ten of our exports of principal value at 
that time. The products that had now found their way into the first 
ten were millet (mtama), with an export weight and export value in 
1922 both more than eleven: times those of 1918, the latter value having 
increased to more than sixty thousand pounds, bringing it to seventh 
place; and rice, with an export twice as great as in 1913. 
Before the war, 63 per cent. of the total export value of 
agricultural and animal produce was divided between three products 
only: sisal, rubber, and hides and skins, with respective percentages 
of 80, 17%, and 15%. By 1922, the same proportion of that value was 
filled by four instead of only three such products, namely, sisal, coffee, 
groundnuts, and cotton, with respectively 22.3, 15.7, 14.7, and 10.8 
per cent.; coffee, cotton, and groundnuts having actually increased 
from 2.6, 6.7 and 5.3 to the above proportionate values; in 1923 the 
similar percentages were: sisal 22.2, groundnuts 15.9, coffee 12.4, and 
cotton 10.7. The result is the attainment of a safer agricultural 
position. 
Among minor agricultural products, through the unavoidable 
neglect of plantings, the export of kapok or silk cotton decreased from 
59 tons in 1912 to 6 tons in 1921 but recovered to 30 tons in 1922.
