Explanation

(a) Cocoa: 117 x 72,000 = 117 x 200 = 23,400 tonnes
                  360       1

Rubber: 96 x 72,000 = 19,200 tonnes
             360       1

Beans: 50 x 72,000 = 10,000 tonnes
            360       1

Cotton: 42 x 72,000 = 8,400 tonnes
            360      1

Rice: 55 x 72,000 = 11,000 tonnes
         360      1.

(b) (I) Quantity by which the export crops is greater than the food crops:
export crops = 23,400 + 19,200 + 8,400 = 51,000

food crops = 10,000 + 11,000 = 21,000

Difference = 51,000 - 21,000 = 30,000 tonnes.

(ii) Cotton contributed the least by 8,400 tonnes

(iii) Cocoa has the highest output.
