Why does Bermuda import most of its food?

Bermuda imports most of its food primarily because agriculture is of negligible importance to its overall economy.

The island's economic focus is heavily concentrated on tourism and international financial services, which account for the major share of the gross national product and employ virtually the entire workforce. While the territory does produce some local goods—including fresh vegetables, bananas, citrus fruits, milk, eggs, and honey—these represent only a small fraction of the total food supply, necessitating reliance on imports from trading partners such as the United States, Canada, and the European Union.1
