The VOC's Trade in Indian Textiles with Burma, 1634-80
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 October 2002
Abstract
The VOC's Burma trade was based on Indian textiles, particularly the cheaper, coarser varieties which would have been surprisingly affordable to the common man or woman. Burmese profits helped fill the coffers of the Company's factories in Coromandel and Bengal. In the end, however, the VOC's establishment in Burma became the victim of a general change in Dutch fortunes.
