Research Industry
We can find no evidence of a MR Association in Samoa. If we're wrong, please get in touch!The economy of Samoa has traditionally been dependent on development aid, private family remittances from overseas, and agricultural exports. Only 12% of the total population in Samoa is engaged in formal paid employment. Two thirds of the labour force is absorbed by "subsistence" village agriculture, with the agricultural and fishing industries accounting for around 15% of GDP. Industry accounts for around 25% of GDP, with manufacturing dominated by a Japanese-owned company, Yazaki, which produces automobile electrical systems and is the largest single employer in Samoa. The service sector accounts for around 60% of GDP with tourism the largest single activity. Increased arrivals from New Zealand and Australia have contributed to the sector's 18% annual growth rate in the year ending April 2007.
