Martinique’s economy relies heavily on trade with France, which serves as its primary partner for both imports and exports. The island's export sector is primarily focused on the following goods:1
- Agricultural products: Bananas are a significant export.1
- Refined petroleum products: These represent a key component of the island's outbound trade.1
- Processed foods and beverages: Rum is a notable export within this category.1
While Martinique maintains a flourishing cruise ship industry and enjoys a relatively high standard of living, the value of its imports consistently exceeds that of its exports, resulting in a large trade deficit.21
