Saint Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha Islands

St Helena’ income primarily comes from agriculture, fishing and tourism but depends heavily upon budgetary support from Britain. Ascension has a small British and American presence, but no significant economic activity. Tristan da Cunha has a fishing industry. Key opportunities for innovation Recycling and energy initiatives have been identified as some of the key areas with a potential for the economic growth.
