CHAPTER XIX.

1944 local production of potatoes amounted to over 50,000 tons, compared with an average annual pre-war production of 7 ,432 tons during 1936-1938. (Because of climatic conditions, seed potatoes have to be imported from overseas).

FRUIT.

18. Here again production is subject to seasonal fluctuation; this accounted for the average net import of about 13,500 tons of fresh fruit a year over the three year period 1936-1938, to supplement local supplies during the season when fruit is scarce. The figure includes an average of approximately 6,000 tons of apples imported annually. The area under orchards has been increased from 379 ,000 dunums in 1939 to 393 ,000 dunums in 1945; this and the coming into production of some areas planted before Hl39 has as yet shown an increase in fruit from 92,000 tons during 1939 to 99,000 tons during 1942, 86,000 tons in 1944 (when the weather was adverse) and 90 ,000 in 1945. These figures do not include citrus fruit, almonds, melons and olives.
