State trading is ultimate Government involvement in trade. There is no precise definition of state trading. It means Government Involvement in foreign trade either directly or through Government owned organizations either in place of or in addition to private traders. Thus, the Government may be the sole proprietor of foreign trade or it may share the foreign trade alongside the private traders. In short, the state trading includes control and ownership of foreign trade in the hands of the Government.

CANALISATION
State trading is often associated with canalisation. Canalisation means establishment of state monopoly in foreign trade. In other words, an item that is canalised can be imported or exported, as the case may be, only by the designated state trading agency. Canalizing agency is the term used by a number of developing countries to describe the STEs they maintain. The term refers to the channeling, or canalizing, of imports and/or exports through a designated product- specific enterprise. Such STEs aim to provide some degree of price stabilization, particularly for producers, as well as to ensure availability of supplies for domestic consumers.
TYPES OF MICA
1. Muscovite mica- KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2 -Muscovite Mica is the most commonly used Mica in electrical insulation and since it has the best electrical properties of all Mica. High quality Mica cleaves the easiest and into the thinnest sheets and with the fewest imperfections that could be seen at the atomic or near atomic scale with AFM or TEM instrumentation. Muscovite Mica is commonly divided into two color groups:
Ruby : varies in color from clear to pink to red / brown Green: varies in color from pale green to olive to dark green
CONT
2. Phologopite Mica - KMg3(AlSi3O10)(OH)2 - is a hydrous potassium magnesium aluminium silicate. Here the calcination temperature is reached at about 800 C. Generally speaking, Phlogopite Mica is softer than Muscovite mica and this for instance makes it more suitable for the manufacture of commutator micanite used in commutators of flush running designs.
Phlogopite Mica is commonly called amber mica and varies in color from light silver to dark brown. Phlogopite Mica has poor electrical properties and chemical resistance in comparision to Muscovite mica.
