France: Agriculture in Corsica

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   FR2021-0002

Corsica is a mountainous French island found off its southern coast in the Mediterranean Sea. Agriculture accounts for 1.3 percent of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and about 1.5 percent of its residents work in agriculture. However, culturally, agriculture remains important to the Corsican identity and it boosts the tourism industry that accounts for about half of its GDP. There are some limited opportunities for U.S. products in its growing hotel and restaurant sector.
