320 Modern Business Geography Fig. 187. In Jaipur, as in many other cities of India, the open space of the main street is the public market. CONSUMPTION What primary products are available for export from Asia. The importance of an article in world trade depends partly on whether it is produced in amounts larger than are needed for immediate consump- tion. For instance, the Indian peninsula produces an enormous amount of millet, but as practically all of it is used as food, locally, it is far less important in world trade than the lead of Australia, even though its actual value is greater. Moreover, millet is not a kind of food that is desired in large quantities in progressive countries, and the demand for it is therefore small. 31. Is this true of any of the important products of the United States? Have we a large export trade in corn? sugar? lumber? Consult the Year Book of the Department of Agriculture. If each of the continents consumed goods in proportion to the num- ber of its people, Asia would need about 50 per cent of each of the products shown in Table V. China alone has more people than Eu- rope, and about five times the number of people in the United States. 32. Take the list made for Exercise 4, of the primary products which Asia produces to the extent of at least 20 per cent of the world’s total. Ar- range the products according to the size of the percentages in Table V.
