Jamaica, the largest of the British West Indian islands, has for centuries been mainly agricultural. It has earned its living mainly from the export of sugar and bananas, both of them products of the soil. In the last few years, however, the soil itself has become a source of wealth. This year government revenue from bauxite will be just under £1 million. By 1960 it is expected to be at least £7 million.
