There are 20 registered factories in Malaya including peeling sheds. None was working at full pressure. Growers claim that the present prices are uneconomic though they bear a reasonable relation to those paid at factories. At the Government Research Station experiments are being made with pineapple jam in order to utilize the expected surplus of fruit during the next season. Pectin containing pulp, in both of which pineapple is deficient, has to be added, papaya or pumpkin being suitable.
