Foreign trade in Palestine continues to boom, according to the latest monthly statement pu###shed in the government’s Commercial Bulletin.
Net imports for 1932 totalled £7,768,920 and exports £2,381,491—both figures being the highest since British Occupation and, of course, in comparison with any pre-War year. Almost the whole increase in Palestine’s exports over 1931 is due to the enlarged shipments of oranges, while only £70,000 presents the increased sales abroad of Palestine’s manufactured goods. As regards oranges, their export this season exceed that of 1931-2 by over 800,000 cases and fully justifies the expectations of the Palestine growers.
