In 1927, 34,103 tons were imported and 35,259 tons were reexported which amount included some quantities left over in stock from the preceding year. No figures are available as to local consumption, as the quantities distributed in the district outside the town limits figure under the export section of the statistics. In 1913 the total coffee movement amounted to 157.356 tons as compared with 69.363 tons in 1927. Wine was imported in the amount of 68,770 tons and reexported in 46,345 tons.

About 22,425 tons, or about 224 hectoliters, of Dalmatian and Greek wines were consumed locally.
