Although tourism is the mainstay of the Norfolk Island Business and Economy, agricultural activities have also started gaining momentum. Revenue generated from the tourism industry in Norfolk Island has helped the Norfolk Island Agriculture to gain a position for itself in the market for agriculture. The agricultural sector in the Norfolk Island now sustains by the increasing productivity of beef, poultry and eggs, which have also become an intricate part of the agricultural trade in the island archipelago. Some of the other agricultural products in Norfolk Island include pine seed, Kentia palm seed, cereals, vegetables and fruit.
Norfolk Island Agriculture Problem
With negligible arable lands and a vast expanse of meadows and pasteur that account for 25% of the total surface area, the occupational mainstay is animal husbandry. The impending Norfolk Island Agriculture Problem that curbs the growth and the development of agriculture in this part of the country is the high salinity level of the soil. It is because of this that the island archipelago is resplendent in sea weeds, Acacia stenophylla, Acacia Cyclops and many more.
