The correct option is A


Samoa's economy has always been dependent on agricultural exports and foreign exchange sent by its nationals, as well as foreign aid. Two thirds of the population is engaged in agriculture, the most important activity being the export of copra, taro and coconut oil and other derivatives of the same plant, contributing 10.4% of GDP.

Copra is the dried pulp of the coconut. The coconut oil is extracted by grating the copra and boiling it in water. Copra processing - that is, peeling, pulping and drying - is usually done where the coconut trees grow. At present there are large plantations where all operations are integrated; formerly it was collected by merchants who went from island to island through the Pacific Ocean.
