      @Burundi, Economy

      Overview:

       A landlocked, resource-poor country in an early stage of economic

       development, Burundi is predominately agricultural with only a few

       basic industries. Its economic health depends on the coffee crop,

       which accounts for 80% of foreign exchange earnings. The ability to

       pay for imports therefore continues to rest largely on the vagaries of

       the climate and the international coffee market. As part of its

       economic reform agenda, launched in February 1991 with IMF and World

       Bank support, Burundi is trying to diversify its agricultural exports

       and attract foreign investment in industry. Several state-owned coffee

       companies were privatized via public auction in September 1991.
