Ceylon’s economy is characterized by the production of three major exports—tea, rubber and coconut The value of exports, of which 90 per cent is derived from these products, has accounted for about one-third of the total gross national product in recent years. The three export crops take up two-thirds of the country’s cultivated land, and provide employment to about 30 per cent of the total gainfully-occupied population.
