Samoa maintains a negative balance of trade, as the nation imports more goods than it exports. While much of the country's manufacturing and agricultural production is intended for local consumption, Samoa does export a specific range of products to its primary trading partners, which include New Zealand, China, Australia, the United States, and Japan.123

The majority of Samoa's exports consist of the following items:

  • Coconut products1
  • Copra1
  • Cacao1
  • Beer1

Although Samoa produces other goods such as corned beef, soap, paint, and various handicrafts, these are primarily manufactured for the local market rather than for international trade.2
