East India Company Trade Data Visualization (1660-1834)

Created by Munirmahedi Paviwala

The East India Company Trade (EIC) visualization highlights the flow of different commodities across Asia by the EIC. It also showcases the changes in trading patterns as EIC becomes a colonial force in South Asia. ​ By interacting with the visualisation, one can understand the changes in trading patterns of the East India Company over the 200-year period.

Questions that can be answere with the data: What were the places that the British EIC traded? Which commodities did EIC trade with each of these places? What were the amounts of these commodities? And how did they change over time?
