Economic activity in America Samoa is closely tied to the US; the US is America Samoa’s main and most significant trading partner. Tuna fishing and tuna processing plants are the backbone of the private sector. The country’s economy also relies heavily subsidies and grants from the US government for stability. While the America Samoa government has tried to diversify its economy into tourism, poor transportation infrastructure, natural disasters and reoccurring global financial instability has hindered its progress.
