finds examples of bananas and other crops being grown on land which can hardly be classed
as cultivable, and which will not be cultivable after a few years exposure to wind and rain
with the natural vegetation removed. Land tenure problems are among the many problems
facing proper land use. Some of the better uncultivated lands are owned by estates or by
small owners who do not utilise them. There is little doubt that a proper scientific approach
to the land use problem would advocate intensifying production and possibly reducing the
actual area of crop land. Due partly to institutional factors, we have not been able to pre-
dict a very significant move in this direction in this period, although some increases in
yields are projected. (See chapter 3.)
