   Economy Guadeloupe
   ------------------
                    Economy - overview: The economy depends on agriculture,
                                        tourism, light industry, and
                                        services. It also depends on France
                                        for large subsidies and imports.
                                        Tourism is a key industry, with most
                                        tourists from the US; an
                                        increasingly large number of cruise
                                        ships visit the islands. The
                                        traditional sugarcane crop is slowly
                                        being replaced by other crops, such
                                        as bananas (which now supply about
                                        50% of export earnings), eggplant,
                                        and flowers. Other vegetables and
                                        root crops are cultivated for local
                                        consumption, although Guadeloupe is
                                        still dependent on imported food,
                                        mainly from France. Light industry
                                        features sugar and rum production.
                                        Most manufactured goods and fuel are
                                        imported. Unemployment is especially
                                        high among the young. Hurricanes
                                        periodically devastate the economy.
