The above figures include, however, large quantities 
of copra imported into Singapore and Penang for 
re-export, in each case amounting to approximately 
half the total quantity exported. 
The principal countries to which exports of copra 
were made during the year 1921 were as follows : —

(b) Coconut Oil. The production of coconut oil in 
Singapore and Penang, where there are a few mills 
engaged in this industry, is fairly considerable, the 
exports in 1921 being valued at $3,788,223 compared 
with $5,786,569 in 1920. 
The principal countries to which this oil is exported 
are Sumatra and Siam, whilst large quantities are 
consumed locally in the Malay States. 
(c) Coconuts. In addition to the export trade in 
copra and coconut oil, small quantities of whole 
coconuts are exported from the country; the value 
of such nuts exported during 1921 was $373,850 
against $463,650 in 1920. 
General . — The cultivation of the coconut under suit- 
able conditions can be safely expected to give steady, 
though small, returns; with good management, a 
profit of ten or even twenty per cent, on the capital 
outlay involved is possible with copra at about 
$12.00 per picul.
