dc.description.abstractBy the end of the eighteenth century most of the available land in Malta had been given over to the cultivation of cotton, then the main cash crop for the island. Cotton was cultivated at the expense of other products: vines, wheat, barley and cumin, the latter being also exported in small quantities. Land covering one or two tumoli sown with cotton could provide a means of livelihood to a family. It was advantageous at the time to buy foodstuffs from Sicily instead of growing them at home.en_GB
