I want to know the answer to the following question:
How important were cotton, silk, indigo dye,saltpetre and tea to the company?
All the background I'm provided with is that "With reduced Portuguese and Spanish influence in the region, the EIC and Dutch East India Company (VOC) entered a period of intense competition, resulting in the Anglo-Dutch Wars of the 17th and 18th centuries.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
