A per capita GDP of $3,200 ranks Solomon Islands as a lesser developed nation. Over 75% of its labour force is engaged in subsistence farming and fishing.Important cash crops and exports include copra and palm oil.Exploitation of Solomon Islands' rich fisheries offers the best prospect for further export and domestic economic expansion. A Japanese joint venture, Solomon Taiyo Ltd., which operated the only fish cannery in the country, closed in mid-2000 as a result of the ethnic disturbances. Though the plant has reopened under local management, the export of tuna has not resumed.In 2017, Solomon Islands was one of the least frequently visited countries in the world, with only 26,000 tourists.

Scuba diving and World War II history are two major tourist attractions.
