About Dominica. The Country's Economy
Dominica relies heavily on the agricultural sector for its survival. The island’s main crop is bananas which are exported to the United Kingdom. Recent decisions taken by the World Trade Organisation have had a negative impact on the island’s banana industry, thus making it difficult to compete on the global market. Other crops grown on the island are citrus, cocoa, coffee, ground provisions and peppers.
Due to the steady decline in the banana industry, Dominica has seen the need to diversify into tourism. Tourism has become one of the main areas which generates substantial revenue for the Dominican economy. Therefore, much effort is placed on promoting Dominica as the ideal destination for vacationers, visitors and tourists.
