In the preceding chapter, a general survey was made of the growth and structure of industry in the ECAFE region. This chapter presents a more detailed study of four industries—coal, cement, cotton textiles and chemical fertilizers. These industries may be considered as broadly representative of Asian industry in general: coal is the main source of energy derived from mineral wealth; cement is one of the two industries which supply basic construction materials; cotton textiles are almost the symbol of Asian industrialization; and chemical fertilizers are rightly regarded as a prerequisite of balanced industrial and agricultural growth.
