Production (1932)

The report was originally under the section of Production of the Administrative Reports for the year 1932. It reported on the condition, performance, and import and export trends of selected industries in the year. It also provided factors that affected the performance of some industries. For example, import duty in China was cited as a factor that hit the production of refined sugar in Hong Kong; world economic depression continued to hit the demand of preserved ginger from Hong Kong; and unfavourable currency exchange had adverse effect on knitting production. From 1931 to 1937, this heading continued to appear in the government administrative reports.
