Economy

The island uses the common franc as its currency. The economy of the island is dependent on agriculture and related industries. These industries employ over 80% of the work force. The islands main food staple is rice, most of which must be imported. Anjouan is the worlds primary exporter of ylang-ylang oil, an ingredient in almost all perfumes.

The new Anjouan laws that have been passed in February 2005 relating to offshore activity have been carefully drawn up to produce a coherent and flexible regulatory framework. Anjouan Corporate Services Ltd was set up under the Anjouan Registered Agent Act and all Anjouan services are fully regulated by the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority.
