12 IMPORTS AND HOME PRODUCTION 



poultry are imported to the value of 10.7 millions, of 

 which only a very small fraction comes from British 

 Possessions. The value of the home production is esti- 

 mated at 10.3 millions, a figure which again takes no 

 account of the large amounts which are consumed by 

 private producers and are never sold. On the whole, we 

 may estimate that at least one-half of the total con- 

 sumption is grown within the United Kingdom. 



In addition we consume about 40 millions worth of 

 food sugar, rice, nuts and fruit that is not produced 

 at all in the United Kingdom, and only about 3 

 millions of this comes from British Possessions.
