Note
"In economics, colonial goods are goods imported from European colonies, in particular coffee, tea, spices, rice, sugar, cocoa and chocolate, and tobacco.

At a time when food and agriculture represented a relatively large proportion of overall economic activity, economic statistics often divided traded goods between "Colonial goods", "Domestic (agricultural & extractive sectors) production" and "Manufactured (secondary sector) production".

The term "colonial goods" became less appropriate with the collapse of the western European empires that followed the Second World War. It nevertheless still appeared in books and articles in the 1970s, by now covering not merely agricultural output from (formerly) colonial countries but all long-life staple foods, regardless of provenance, as well as soap, washing powder and petrol/gasoline, and other newly important basic household supplies." - (en.wikipedia.org 25.09.2020)
