What is the main source of income of Maldives?
The main source of income in the Maldives is the tourism industry, contributing 28% of GDP and more than 60% of foreign exchange receipts. The second leading sector accounting for over 15% of the GDP and engaging 30% of the country’s workforce is fisheries. Agriculture plays a very small role due to limited area of cultivatable land and shortage of domestic labor. The industrial sector accounting for 7% of GDP provides tuna canneries, five garment factories, a bottling plant, and a few enterprises in the capital producing PVC pipe, soap, furniture, and food products.


Are there any prospective industries in Maldives. If “Yes” – I am need of the industrial directory database in a segmentized manner. Please help.
