Import to British Virgin Islands

The BVI economy is highly dependent on tourism and financial services. The country has poor soils which are the cause of a limited agricultural activity on the islands. This natural condition reduces the country's ability to meet domestic food requirements.

Agriculture and industry account for only a small proportion of the British Virgin Islands' GDP. The main agricultural products include vegetables, fruits and sugar cane. Livestock raising is also an important agricultural activity. Other industries are rum distillation, construction and boat building.

The British Virgin Islands is the world's 160th largest importer. The BVI's main imports are food products, cars, construction materials, machinery, ferroalloys, refined petroleum. The island's primary import partners are Russia, US, South Korea, Germany and Italy.
