The economy of Seychelles is based on fishing, tourism, the processing of coconuts and vanilla, coir (coconut fiber) rope, boat building, printing, furniture and beverages.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Report for Selected Countries and Subjects )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The World Factbook )〕 Agricultural products include cinnamon, sweet potatoes, cassava (tapioca), bananas, poultry and tuna.〔〔 The public sector, comprising the government and state-owned enterprises, dominates the economy in terms of employment and gross revenue, employing two-thirds of the labor force. Government consumption absorbs over one-third of the GDP. == Economic history == The French originally settled the Seychelles in 1770, setting up plantations which relied heavily on slave labour to produce cotton, sugar, rice, and maize. The British took control of the Seychelles during the Napoleonic Wars without removing the French upper class. After the British prohibited slavery in 1835, the influx of African workers did not end because British warships captured Arab slavers and forced the liberated slaves to work on plantations as apprentices without pay. In the 1960s, about 33% of the working population worked at plantations, and 20% worked in the public or government sector. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Economy of Seychelles」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
