The economy of Réunion has traditionally been based on agriculture. Sugarcane has been the primary crop for more than a century, and in some years it accounts for 85% of exports. The government has been[when?] pushing the development of a tourist industry to relieve high unemployment, which amounts[when?] to more than 40% of the labour force.
The gap in Réunion between the well-off and the poor is large and accounts for persistent social tensions.[1] The outbreak of severe rioting in February 1991 illustrated the seriousness of socio-economic tensions.[2]
In 2007 the GDP per capita of Réunion at nominal exchange rates, not at PPP, was €17,146 (US$23,501).[3] However, while this is exceptionally high compared with its neighbours in Madagascar and the African continent, it is only 57% of the 30,140 euros per capita GDP of metropolitan France in 2007.Reunion Island is one of the French departments with the highest poverty rate with 42% of the population living below the poverty line. [4] The total GDP of the island was US$18.8 billion in 2007.[3]
