Export from Micronesia

Micronesia is a subregion of Oceania, comprising thousands of small islands in the western Pacific Ocean. It has a shared cultural history with two other island regions, Polynesia to the east and Melanesia to the south.

The economic activity of the Federated States of Micronesia consists primarily of subsistence agriculture and fishing. The islands have few mineral deposits worth exploiting, except for high-grade phosphate.

Major Micronesia exports are: frozen fish, fish fillet, meat, fishing vessels, yachts, knotted netting of twine, cordage or rope, paper, molluscs.

Major export partners of Micronesia: Thailand, China, Japan,  Korea, Rep., Philippines, United States.

The fishing industry is highly important. Foreign commercial fishing fleets pay over $20 million annually for the right to operate in FSM territorial waters. These licensing fees account for nearly 30% of domestic budgetary revenue. Additionally, exports of marine products, mainly reexports of fish to Japan, account for nearly 85% of export revenue. Copra production used to be a more significant source of income, however, world prices have dropped in part to large palm plantations that are now planted in places like Borneo.

Import to Micronesia

The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) consist of 607 islands. Micronesia is a member of the Pacific Island Countries Trade Agreement (PICTA) and the South Pacific Regional Trade and Economic Cooperation Agreement (SPARTECA).

Micronesia's import taxes are among the lowest in the Pacific.

Main imports of Micronesia are food, manufactured goods and machinery and equipment, and namely: petroleum oils, rice, poultry, prepared or preserved fish, fishing rods, shooting equipment, cement.

Major import partners of Micronesia: United States, Korea Rep., Japan, Philippines, China, Australia, Thailand. Australia is one of FSM's main sources of imports after the US and Japan. 

Due to its geographical situation, the country is exposed to typhoons, and there is a danger for agricultural produce. Economic activity consists largely of subsistence farming and fishing, and government, which employs two-thirds of the adult working population.
