São Tomé and Príncipe
São Tomé and Príncipe is a small island nation with potential in eco-tourism, cocoa and fishing. Recent oil exploration could transform the economy.
Panoramica
São Tomé and Príncipe is a volcanic archipelago in the Gulf of Guinea, Africa's second smallest country. The economy traditionally depends on cocoa (famous for its quality), fishing and international aid. Niche ecotourism is growing thanks to pristine beaches, unique biodiversity and Portuguese colonial architecture. Oil exploration in the Joint Development Zone with Nigeria could transform the economy, although commercial production is yet to be confirmed.
