=== Agriculture ===
The fertile soil of the Pitcairn valleys, such as Isaac's Valley on the gentle slopes southeast of [[Adamstown, Pitcairn Islands|Adamstown]], produces a wide variety of fruits, including bananas (Pitkern: ''plun''), [[papaya]] (''paw paws''), [[pineapple]]s, [[mango]]es, [[watermelon]]s, [[cantaloupe]]s, [[passionfruit]], [[breadfruit]], [[coconut]]s, [[avocado]]es, and [[citrus]] (including [[mandarin orange]]s, [[grapefruit]], lemons and [[Lime (fruit)|limes]]). Vegetables include [[sweet potato]]es (kumura), carrots, [[sweet corn]], tomatoes, [[taro]], [[yam (vegetable)|yams]], [[peas]], and [[bean]]s. [[Arrowroot]] (''Maranta arundinacea'') and [[sugarcane]] are grown and harvested to produce arrowroot flour and [[molasses]], respectively. Pitcairn Island is remarkably productive and its benign climate supports a wide range of tropical and temperate crops.<ref>Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC): Pitcairn Islands-Joint Country Strategy, 2008.</ref> All land allocation for any use including agriculture is under the discretion of the government. If the government deems agricultural production excessive, then it may tax the land. If the agricultural land has been deemed not up to the standards of the government, it may confiscate and transfer the land without compensation.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pitcairn.pn/Laws/Land%20Tenure%20Reform%20Ordinance.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=30 April 2018 |archive-date=26 November 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181126131937/http://www.pitcairn.pn/Laws/Land%20Tenure%20Reform%20Ordinance.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>

Fish are plentiful in the seas around Pitcairn. [[Spiny lobster]] and a large variety of fish are caught for meals and for trading aboard passing ships. Almost every day, someone will go fishing, whether it is from the rocks, from a longboat, or diving with a spear gun. There are numerous types of fish around the island. Fish such as nanwee, white fish, moi, and opapa are caught in shallow water, while snapper, big eye, and cod are caught in deep water, and yellow tail and wahoo are caught by trawling.
