Out of the budget of £18,000 for the year 5687 supplied by the Keren Hayesod for the purpose of fostering trade and industry in Palestine, the Palestine Zionist Executive disbursed £10,740 during the first three months of the year (October, November, December, 1926).
The bulk of this sum, £9,892, went in loans ranging from £20 to £2,000 granted to various existing industrial enterprises including factories for knitting, leather work, manufacturing chemical fertilizers, soap, candy, zinc, cork, stockings, lime, boxes, shoes, cement, umbrellas and ribbons, a brewery, a quarry and fisheries.
