      Economy French Guiana

      Economy - overview:

       The economy is tied closely to the larger French economy through

       subsidies and imports. Besides the French space center at Kourou

       (which accounts for 25% of GDP), fishing and forestry are the most

       important economic activities. Forest and woodland cover 90% of the

       country. The large reserves of tropical hardwoods, not fully

       exploited, support an expanding sawmill industry that provides sawn

       logs for export. Cultivation of crops is limited to the coastal

       area, where the population is largely concentrated; rice and manioc

       are the major crops. French Guiana is heavily dependent on imports

       of food and energy. Unemployment is a serious problem, particularly

       among younger workers.
