Asian Development Bank Member Factsheet - Samoa

Description:
With a landmass of 2,934 square kilometers spread across two main islands (Savaii and Upolu) and several smaller ones, Samoa is dependent on fisheries and agricultural products for exports while importing most of its fuel and commodities. Approximately 70% of the population lives in rural areas and the majority of the workforce is engaged in subsistence activities. Core development constraints include geographic isolation, capacity constraints in the public and private sectors, and high exposure to natural disasters and the effects of climate change.
