The importations of this product into this country have more than trabled during the past twelve years and shows now a larger value in the import than almost any other single product.
 The statement shows that the value Of India rubber importations has in- creased more than 200 per cent in q decade. The increase is attributed tu tie great demand in the various parts of the world for the use of this product.
