Comoros: World
built 629 days ago
With fewer than a million people, the Comoros is one of the least populous countries in the world, but is ... one of the most densely populated, with an average of 275 people per km² (712 people per sq mi). In 2001, 34% of the population was considered urban, but that is expected to grow, since rural population growth is negative, while overall population growth is still relatively high.[38] Major urban centers include Moroni, Mutsamudu, Domoni, Fomboni, and Tsémbéhou.

The economy is largely agricultural; the main export is vanilla (the Comoros are the world’s second largest producer). Other crops are ylang-ylang oil, used in perfumes; cloves, coconuts, cassava, bananas, sweet potatoes, sugarcane, and rice. There is some stone quarrying. Imports, which greatly exceed exports, include rice, petroleum products, and consumer goods. The country has poor transportation links; there are four airports.

Comoros has inadequate transportation system, a young and rapidly increasing population, and few natural resources. The low educational level of the labor force contributes to a subsistence level of economic activity, high unemployment, and a heavy dependence on foreign grants and technical assistance. Agriculture contributes 40% to GDP, employs 80% of the labor force, and provides most of the exports. Comoros is the world's largest producer of ylang-ylang, and a large producer of vanilla.[37]
