Seychelles economy, according to Britannica, is greatly reliant on the service sector and the tourism industry. To put it into perspective, the service sector accounts for around four-fifths of the island nation's GDP. Agriculture and fishing make up a small fraction of the GDP mainly because arable land is sparse and the soil is overall poor, therefore the country is reliant on importing food products, except fish, as their fishing industry supplies domestic demand and is exported, just as essential oils, vanilla, cinnamon bark, tea, limes and copra.
