For the purpose of this PDNA, the agricultural sector is defined to include the crops, livestock, fishery, and forestry subsectors
Commerce and industry comprises close to 40% of GDP and is therefore a key sector for Vanuatu. Tropical Cyclone Pam damaged the sector’s buildings and inputs for production, and it continued to affect the sector through increased costs of inputs and reduced activity in the economy. It is important to note that the figures reported are likely to be underestimated due to the amount of data available for inclusion within this PDNA, which was prepared in a short time frame.
