Cultivation of crops is limited to the coastal area, where the population is largely concentrated; rice and manioc are the major crops.

negative: Economy of French Polynesia Since 1962, when France stationed military personnel in the region, French Polynesia has changed from a subsistence economy to one in which a high proportion of the work force is either employed by the military or supports the tourist industry. Tourism accounts for about one-fourth of GDP and is a primary source of hard currency earnings. The small manufacturing sector primarily processes agricultural products.

negative: Economy of Martinique The economy of Martinique is based on trade. Agriculture accounts for about 6% of GDP and the small industrial sector for 11%.

In recent years, the economy has suffered because of depressed international demand for nickel, due to the ongoing global financial crisis.

negative: Economy of Saint Pierre and Miquelon The economy of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, due to the islands' location, has been dependent on fishing and servicing fishing fleets operating off the coast of Newfoundland. The economy has been declining, however, due to disputes with Canada over fishing quotas and a decline in the number of ships stopping at the islands.
