Khoo Boo Siew & Co

Khoo Boo Siew & Co. was primarily a trading company.

Here is an introduction to the company:

Khoo Boo Siew & Co. was a prominent Singaporean company, widely recognized for its significant role in the rubber industry. Established by Mr. Khoo Boo Siew, the firm became one of the leading Chinese-owned rubber trading houses in Singapore, especially during the colonial era and the early years of post-independence.

The company's core business involved the trade and export of raw rubber and latex. They functioned as major dealers, exporters, and commission agents, sourcing raw rubber from plantations across Southeast Asia, undertaking necessary processing like grading and baling, and then exporting it to international markets. Their operations were crucial in establishing Singapore as a vital trading hub for commodities from the region.

While they handled and processed the raw material, their fundamental business model was that of a **trader** and exporter of raw commodities, rather than a manufacturer or factory producing finished rubber goods. They played a substantial part in Singapore's economy as a key player in the commodity export sector during a period when rubber was a vital global resource.
