=== Agriculture === The agricultural sector was once the main contributor to Saint Lucia's economy. This was especially thanks to the exporting of bananas. However, its importance to the economy has declined significantly, in part due to increased competition from South American countries in the banana industry. Nevertheless, agriculture is still an important part of the country's economy, providing 7.9% of jobs and contributing to 2.2% of the GDP in 2021. About 18% of land is used for agricultural practices.<ref name=CIA>{{cite web|url=https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/saint-lucia/|title=CIA Factobook, Saint Lucia|website=Central Intelligence Agency|access-date=22 August 2021|archive-date=12 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220212013122/https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/saint-lucia/|url-status=live}}</ref> Bananas remain the main agricultural product grown in Saint Lucia, as well as coconuts, cocoa beans, mangoes, avocados, vegetables, citrus fruits, and root crops such as yams and sweet potatoes. Saint Lucia also has a small livestock sector, which is dominated by poultry. The island is self-sufficient in egg production and production of poultry and pork has increased in recent years. Fishing has also been of considerable importance to the nation's economy.
