This particular Eastman Teaching Film educates the viewer on all aspects of these industries from planting to harvest to distribution through a compilation of black and white footage. This film offers important insights into industries that still hold economic importance to Central America and the world today as well as a decade in Central American history that was characterized by development. In fact, during the 1930s Central America witnessed a closing toward international trade and finance as well as the continuation of urbanization and economic development that began in the late 1920s.
