HC Deb 02 March 1938 vol 332 cc1129-30W
Mr. Day

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can give the total value of exported coffee from Tanganyika during the 12 months ended at the last convenient date; and whether he has any figures showing the amount of native-grown coffee that was exported during the same period?

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

The total value of all coffee exported from Tanganyika in 1937 was approximately £430,000, as compared with £343,000 in 1936. Figures distinguishing native exports are not yet available for 1937: but in 1935 and in 1936 approximately 70 per cent. by weight of the coffee exported was native grown.
