What is the main sector of Haiti’s economy?

Haiti’s limited resource base has been depleted, first through intensive colonial exploitation and later through unplanned development and corruption. Agriculture is the largest sector of Haiti’s economy, employing roughly two-thirds of the labor force but accounting for only about one-fourth of the gross domestic product (GDP). Gold and copper are found in small quantities in the north of the country.
