Samoa

Samoa is a small Pacific island economy dependent on agriculture, fishing, tourism, and remittances from the many Samoans living abroad, especially in New Zealand, Australia, and the United States.

Remittances and aid are central to the economy, alongside a developing tourism sector, in a country known for strong adherence to traditional Samoan culture (fa'a Samoa).

Key Sectors

The economy rests on remittances (a major share of income), tourism, agriculture (coconut products, taro), fishing, and foreign aid.
