Export from Samoa

The economy of Samoa is dependent on agricultural exports, development aid and private remittances from overseas. Samoa is vulnerable to devastating storms. Agriculture employs two-thirds of the labor force, and furnishes 90% of exports, featuring coconut cream, coconut oil and copra. Outside of a large automotive wire harness factory, the manufacturing sector mainly processes agricultural products. Tourism is an expanding sector; more than 70,000 tourists visited the islands in 1996. The Samoan Government has called for deregulation of the financial sector, encouragement of investment, and continued fiscal discipline. Observers point to the flexibility of the labor market as a basic strength factor for future economic advances.

Because of variations in altitude, a large range of tropical and subtropical crops can be cultivated, but land is not generally available to outside interests. Of the total land area of 2,934 km² (725,000 acres), about 24.4% is in permanent crops and another 21.2% is arable. About 4.4% is Western Samoan Trust Estates Corporation (WSTEC).

Samoa's main exports are insulated wire, frozen and fresh fish, cars, delivery trucks, beer, printed circuit boards, coconut oil, rolled tobacco, scrap iron.

Samoa's main export partners are Australia, New Zealand, Nigeria, American Samoa, Brazil, Tokelau, United States, Thailand, Colombia.

     

Import to Samoa

The economy of Samoa has traditionally been dependent on agriculture and fishing at the local level. In modern times, development aid, private family remittances from overseas, and agricultural exports have become key factors in the nation's economy. 

The staple products of Samoa are copra (dried coconut meat), cocoa bean (for chocolate), and bananas. The annual production of both bananas and copra has been in the range of 13,000 to 15,000 metric tons. Samoan cocoa beans are of very high quality and used in fine New Zealand chocolates. Most are Criollo-Forastero hybrids. Coffee grows well, but production has been uneven. WSTEC is the biggest coffee producer. Rubber has been produced in Samoa for many years, but its export value has little impact on the economy.

Other agricultural industries have been less successful. Sugarcane production, originally established by Germans in the early 20th century, could be successful. Old train tracks for transporting cane can be seen at some plantations east of Apia. Pineapples grow well in Samoa, but beyond local consumption have not been a major export.

Samoa's main imports are refined petroleum, poultry meat, insulated wire, processed and frozen fish, sawn wood, cars, pasta, rice, delivery trucks

Samoa's main import partners are New Zealand, Singapore, China, United States, Australia, Fiji, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea.
