History
Major Issues/Problems
Despite the great Trading Partners and great export goods, a lot of Samoans are unemployed and have moved to other counties bringing back money for their families ("Samoa." World).
Economy
Samoa´s main exports are taro, cocoa, coconut cream, and copra. Most of the exports go to New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia and even Hong Kong("Samoa." World).
About two thirds of the Samoan population work in agriculture, which is most of the country earnings. Most Samoans normally grow their own crops and animals like pigs cows and chickens(“Samoa” culturegrams).
