An Alternative Strategy for Developing a Micronesian Export Industry C.L. Cheshire Micronesian Counselor (June 2003) Adobe Acrobat PDF here (547 K) Introduction Over the past fifty years, successive Micronesian governments have labored to achieve economic self sufficiency. Since the Compacts of Free Association were established in the late 1980's, the island states that make up the Caroline and Marshall islands have tried to meet this challenge through a variety of export development initiatives. In addition to developing a local tuna industry, Micronesians have attempted to establish an aquaculture industry (giant clams, trochus, sponges, black pearls, and hard and soft corals). They have worked to wring profits from the region's traditional export, copra, and have constructed two coconut soap factories. Rather than reduce Micronesia's dependency on foreign aid, however, these efforts have been, for the most part, a drain on its aid funds. The challenge of developing a thriving export industry to achieve self-sufficiency still remains. For an export industry in Micronesia to be truly Micronesian, it needs to be locally owned and operated. Some commentators, however, have suggested there is no export in Micronesia because there is insufficient business experience to develop a locally owned export industry. As the argument goes, successfully exporting a locally manufactured product is more complicated and requires a different set of business skills than those possessed by local business owners. This argument overlooks the considerable business experience and expertise that is in Micronesia. There are several large diversified service and retail businesses in Micronesia that employ scores of employees and have annual sales in the hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. These businesses can be viewed as an important asset in a strategy to develop a locally owned export industry in Micronesia.

The War in the Pacific Contents Aims Chuuk Historic Preservation Office Chuuk Geography World War II in Chuuk ... Contacts, web address and acknowledgments War in Paradise World War II sites in Truk Lagoon, Chuuk, Federated States of Micronesia Chuuk Geography Chuuk consists of 19 'high' islands located inside a lagoon called Truk Lagoon, 10 atolls and 225 'low' coralline islands, of which many are located outside the lagoon. The high islands are composed of volcanic rock and are the peaks of a mountainous land mass, their total mass above water being 91 sq. kilometres. The lagoon is about 64 kilometres in diameter and has been formed by a barrier reef enclosing an area of 2,125 sq. kilometres of relatively deep and protected water. The islands are fringed with many mangroves that support a large and diverse marine life. The fertile high islands contain native trees and plants comprising breadfruit, coconuts, mango, banana and taro that, in association with fish, have supported a subsistence lifestyle for the Chuukese for many years.
