APFENDIX. 303 Further, an increasing native interest was being taken in chillies, a small production of 12 ewts. in 1921 having become 188 in 1922. Of mineral products, mica was the chief, with an export of 32 tons worth €19,172 in 1923, or about three times that Jf 1922. The principal timber export was mangrove poles, valued at £2,925 in 1922 and €3,719 in 1923. Last, but not least of the non-agricultural exports important in the trade of the country, ivory had exports of 205 ewts., value £11,425, and 686 cwts., worth £51.393 in 1922 and 1923 respectively. 1924. The value of the principal agricultural exports in 1913 was £1,296,105; in 1924, on the same price basis, it was £1,612,376 or 24 per cent. greater, and actually £2 329,861; showing a very considerable increase in the prosperity of the Territory. Of the first ten exports, the principal, sisal, retained its priority and had reached nearly nine- tenths of the last German output. Cotton was now second in value, having taken the place of the vanished plantation rubber industry. The third place was occupied by groundnuts, which then was sixth. Cotton was fourth in 1913; now coffee, with an output five times as great as the German production. Hides and skins had risen in recent years from sixth to fifth place, owing partly to the removal of the export duty and partly to better prices; it was third in importance before the war. Copra, with an increased production of 49 per cent. over that of 1913, had fallen from fifth to sixth. Simsim, now seventh, with an export more than four times as great, was ninth. The eighth and ninth places were taken, respectively, by rice and millet, which before the war were below the tenth place, and had since increased their export four and eight times. Beeswax was tenth on the list, having fallen from its position of great importance, seventh in 1913, and taken the place then occupied by ghee, but now like plantation rubber, absent from the list. Before the war, 63 per cent. of the total export of agricultural and animal produce was divided between three products only: sisal, rubber, and hides and skins, with respective percentages of 30, 17%, and 153. By the end of 1924, about the same proportion of that value was filled by four instead of only three such products, namely, sisal, cotton, groundnuts, and coffee, with, respectively, 24.7, 14.3, 13.8, and 13.5 per cent., cotton, groundnuts, and coffee having actually increased from 6.7, 5.3, and 2.6 to the above proportionate values. The export of ghee, among minor agricultural products, already in 1922 above that of 1913, increased by the end of 1924 to 40 per cent. over that of 1913, assisted by the removal in 1922 of the prohibitive import tariff into Uganda and Kenya. The shipments of kapok or silk cotton decreased through the cause already mentioned from 52 tons in 1912 to 6 tons in 1921; but in 1924 equalled the 1912 production. Further, an increasing native interest was being taken in chillies, a small production of 12 cwts. in 1921 having become 188 in 1922, 10,382 in 1923, and 18,198 cwts. (worth £18,596) in 1924. Of mineral products, mica with an export of 57 tons valued at £27,638 in 1924, or about five times that of 1922, was surpassed by gold, owing to the development of the alluvial fields of Lupa River, whose export reached 7,577 oz. troy worth £30,349. The principal timber export, mangrove poles, had only a small value, £1,520. The ship- ments of ivory increased to 743 cwts.. valued at £66.643.
