By the end of 2006, 11,095 of the 22,000 jobs in the tourism sector were filled by expatriates, despite a limit of 50 per cent on the proportion of expatriates among total employees in tourist resorts (Kundur, 2012). An agricultural diversification strategy sought to combine production for local consumption, to improve food security, with commercial investment (including investment large-scale farming) to improve crop production, fisheries, livestock and forestry development. Investment was promoted in new high-value crops (vanilla, pepper and nonu), as were the processing of existing products and diversification into niche markets, notably organic production (for example, of virgin coconut oil, bananas and nonu products). Government measures to support diversification included strengthening research and extension services for product development, a Tuna Management Plan, and investment in supportive infrastructure, such as cooling facilities.
