³ Singapore domestic production is expected to rise from $33 to $46 million by 1991, an average annual rate of increase of 11%. The bulk of this production comes from Baxter-Travenol, but also includes other manufacturing plants added during the 1980s: Becton-Dickinson, Diagnostic Biotechnology, and Pacific Biomedical.
