Export from Anguilla

Anguilla is a small economy, being the world's 208th largest exporter. The country possesses few natural resources. The major economic sectors of Anguilla are luxury tourism, lobster fishing and offshore banking. Anguilla's economy depends on the external economic conditions, because of its small territory and reliance on foreign direct investment. Despite all these conditions, economic growth in Anguilla is possible. 

The main industries practiced in Anguilla are boat building, financial services, fishing and tourism. The agricultural sector doesn't play an important role in Anguilla's economy, as the country has thin arid soils, which are unsuitable for the cultivation of crops.

Regarding, Anguilla's exports, it should be mentioned that in 2008, food products, drinks, live animals and tobacco accounted for 41% of all exports. Machinery and transport equipment, in the same period, represented 19.7% of the exported goods. Other important exports include liqueur, spirits, rum, solid cane, beet sugar, lobster, fish, salt, cement, concrete blocks, motor vehicles, centrifuges. 

Guyana, the Netherlands Antilles and USA, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Saint Lucia, Belgium and Luxembourg are the major export partners of Anguilla.

Import to Anguilla

Anguilla's major sources of revenue include contributions from emigrants, offshore banking and lobster fishing. The most of the country's inhabitants are employed in the field of commerce – 36%,  and the service industry employs about 29% of the labor force. Agriculture isn't very developed on the island, however a few crops are cultivated (mostly tobacco and vegetables). Cattle raising also exists as an economic activity.  

It should be mentioned that in recent years, the major objective of the Anguillan government was to develop the country's offshore financial sector, which has grown consistently. Anguilla also aims to obtain 15% of its energy from solar power in order to cut imports of expensive fuel. The diversification of the economy would be a good solution for Anguilla's economy to stop relying on one main source of revenue. 

Regarding Anguilla's imports, it's worth noticing that they increased on average by 27.6% in recent years. Imports of manufactured goods account for 18.3% and 16.7% represent transport equipment imports. The major imported commodities include refined petroleum, motor vehicles, recreational boats, aluminium structures, construction materials, furniture, wood, food. 

The US, the UK, France, Japan and Barbados are the island's major import partners.
