Vanuatu

Vanuatu is a small Melanesian archipelago economy dependent on agriculture, tourism, and an offshore financial sector, and is among the world's most exposed nations to natural disasters.

Most people live by subsistence farming, while tourism and the sale of passports through a citizenship-by-investment program provide revenue, in a country regularly battered by cyclones and earthquakes.

Key Sectors

The economy rests on subsistence and cash-crop agriculture (copra, kava, cocoa), tourism, offshore financial services, and a citizenship-by-investment program.
