for coffee and tobacco at the time that supply was being examined, and are presented in
Tables 5. 1. i and 5. 1. ii. Local use of cocoa is negligible, and it can be assumed that
initially all production is available for export (see Table 17d).

 of production or local use are available. About 800 pounds of extracts
 were exported in 1958.

 Note: All territories grow tobacco for domestic use, but in the main it is a non-cash
 crop. St. Lucia, Grenada and Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, and British Guiana
 make cigarettes locally, mainly from imported tobacco. No estimates of projected
 demand are available.
