Coincidentally, world market conditions for coffee were becoming increasingly unfavourable. The combination of these factors brought a swift end to coffee cultivation in the British crown colony and pushed the island into a severe economic crisis. When Ceylon re-emerged from this crisis only a decade later, its economy had been thoroughly transformed and now rested on the large-scale cultivation of tea. This book uses the unprecedented intensity and swiftness of this process to highlight the socioeconomic interconnections and dependencies in tropical export economies in the late nineteenth century and it shows how dramatically Ceylonese society was affected by the economic transformation. 410 0$aBrill's Indological library ;$vv. 29. 606 $aCoffee industry$zSri Lanka$xHistory 606 $aTea trade$zSri Lanka$xHistory 606 $aAgriculture$xEconomic aspects$zSri Lanka 607 $aSri Lanka$xEconomic conditions 607 $aSri Lanka$xSocial conditions 607 $aSri Lanka$xCommerce 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCoffee industry$xHistory. 615 0$aTea trade$xHistory. 615 0$aAgriculture$xEconomic aspects 676 $a330.95493 700 $aWenzlhuemer$b Roland$0852469 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458914503321 996 $aFrom coffee to tea cultivation in Ceylon, 1880-1900$92166990 997 $aUNINA
