      Economy Guadeloupe

      Economy - overview:

       The Caribbean economy depends on agriculture, tourism, light

       industry, and services. It also depends on France for large

       subsidies and imports. Tourism is a key industry, with most tourists

       from the US; an increasingly large number of cruise ships visit the

       islands. The traditional sugarcane crop is slowly being replaced by

       other crops, such as bananas (which now supply about 50% of export

       earnings), eggplant, and flowers. Other vegetables and root crops

       are cultivated for local consumption, although Guadeloupe is still

       dependent on imported food, mainly from France. Light industry

       features sugar and rum production. Most manufactured goods and fuel

       are imported. Unemployment is especially high among the young.

       Hurricanes periodically devastate the economy.
