Vanuatu: Fact Sheet

Vanuatu is an archipelago with a population of 300,000 people spread across 84 volcanic islands in the West Pacific. The collapse of tourism has made Vanuatu’s economic growth increasingly dependent on passport sales, public infrastructure spending, private sector construction activities, and aid flows. Rural populations are engaged in subsistence farming and limited production of copra, beef, cocoa, tuna, and kava for export.
