In 1903, the British government granted the company access to copra and phosphate reserves in the Pacific.
[2] By 1905, Levers Pacific plantations were shipping 13,000 tons of copra yearly to the Lever Brothers Ltd factory in Sydney for processing into the raw material for soap manufacture and for the supply of butter fat to customers.

The complaints included Woodford withdrawing ‘waste lands’ from transfer to plantation owners when the original Solomon Islander owners were identified, and his insisting on strict conformity with the improvement clauses on leases.
