@Grenada:Economy

Overview: The economy is essentially agricultural and centers on the
traditional production of spices and tropical plants. Agriculture
accounts for about 15% of GDP and 80% of exports and employs 24% of
the labor force. Tourism is the leading foreign exchange earner,
followed by agricultural exports. Manufacturing remains relatively
undeveloped, but is expected to grow, given a more favorable private
investment climate since 1983. The economy achieved an impressive
average annual growth rate of 5.5% in 1986-91 but has stalled since
1992. Unemployment remains high at about 25%.
