<article><source>CIA Factbook</source><hdr>The World Factbook 1993: Wallis and Futuna
Economy</hdr><body>
<p>Overview: The economy is limited to traditional subsistence
agriculture, with about 80% of the labor force earning its
livelihood from agriculture (coconuts and vegetables), livestock
(mostly pigs), and fishing. About 4% of the population is
employed in government. Revenues come from French Government
subsidies, licensing of fishing rights to Japan and South Korea,
import taxes, and remittances from expatriate workers in New
Caledonia. Wallis and Futuna imports food, fuel, clothing,
machinery, and transport equipment, but its exports are
negligible, consisting of copra and handicrafts.
