Agriculture in Panama is an important sector of the Panamanian economy.[1] Major agricultural products include bananas, cocoa beans, coffee, coconuts, timber, beef, chicken, shrimp, corn, potatoes, rice, soybeans, and sugar cane.[2]
In 2009 agriculture and fisheries made up 7.4% of Panama's GDP.[2] Panama is a net food importer and the U.S. is its main supplier.[3] Agriculture employs many Panamanians (in relation to agriculture's percentage of Panamanian GDP) because many farmers are engaged in subsistence farming.
