Economy Overview
The Fijian economy has a sizeable subsistence agricultural economy as well as producing cash crops, of which sugar is the most important. Fisheries and timber are also vital export earners. In the industrial sector, low-grade copper deposits have been discovered, and commercial mining operations are expected to begin in due course. There are a number of light industrial enterprises producing goods such as cement, paint, cigarettes, biscuits, flour, nails, barbed wire, furniture, matches and footwear, mainly for domestic consumption. In the service sector, tourism is Fiji's most important economic activity but this has been severely affected by political upheaval. The overall decline in trade and investment which began with the 1987 coup (and now accelerated by the events of 2000) has been compounded by the exodus of many ethnic Indian members of the business community. Fiji's largest trading partners are Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the USA and the UK; more recently, closer economic relations have been forged with other Asian countries, including South Korea, Taiwan and China.
Government
The suspended 1998 constitution allows for a bicameral legislature. In the 71-member Vale (House of Representatives), whose members are popularly elected for five-year terms, over half the seats are allocated to specific ethnic communities (23 to Fijians, 19 to Indians); the remainder are open to be contested by anyone. The Seniti (Senate), which also serves a five-year term, has 34 members: 24 are elected by the traditional Council of Chiefs; the remainder are appointed. The Council of Chiefs elects the President to serve a five-year term.
