Agriculture, the most important sector of the economy,    accounts for 28% of GDP, employs 62% of the labor force, and produces    two-thirds of exports. Productivity remains low. Manufacturing, still    in its early stages, employs 9% of the labor force, accounts for 15%    of GDP, and generates 20% of exports. The service sectors, including    public administration, account for 50% of GDP and employ 20% of the    labor force. Many basic problems face the economy, including rapid    population growth, high unemployment, inflation, a lack of basic    services, a large and inefficient public sector, and the dependence of    the export sector mostly on coffee and bananas, which are subject to    sharp price fluctuations.
