lemons and limes); and vegetables include: sweet potatoes(kumura), carrots, sweet corn, tomatoes, taro, yams, peas, and beans. Arrowroot (Tacca leontopetaloides) and sugarcane are grown and harvested to produce arrowroot flour and molasses. Pitcairn Island is remarkably productive and its benign climate allows a wide range of tropical and temperate crops to be grown (Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC): Pitcairn Islands-Joint Country Strategy, 2008). Fish are plentiful in the seas around Pitcairn, and Pitcairners love their fishing. Crayfish and a large variety of fish are caught for meals and for trading aboard passing ships. Almost everyday someone will go fishing, whether it is from the rocks, from a longboat or diving with a spear gun. There are numerous types of fish around the island. Fish such as Nanwee, White Fish, Moi and Opapa are caught in shallow water, while Snapper, Big Eye and Cod are caught in deep water and Yellow Tail and Wahoo are caught by trolling. A range of minerals have been discovered within the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), which extends 370kms offshore and comprises 880,000 sq kms, including manganese, iron, copper, gold, silver and zinc (Commonwealth Secretariat Yearbook 2010: Pitcairn Economy). The Pitcairners are involved in creating magnificent crafts and curios. Typical wood carvings include sharks, fish, whales, dolphins, turtles, vases, birds, walking sticks, book boxes and the famous models of the Bounty. Miro (Thespesia populnea), a dark, durable and beautifully grained wood, is preferred for carving. Islanders also produce exquisite tapa cloth and painted hattie leaves (Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Profile on Pitcairn Islands, British Overseas Territory, 11 February 2010). The major sources of revenue, until recently, have been the sale of coins and postage stamps to collectors, .pn domain names, and the sale of handicrafts to passing ships, most of which are plying the United Kingdom to New Zealand route via the Panama Canal (Pitcairn Island Report prepared by Jaques and Associates, 2003 p.18). Trade is restricted by the jagged geography of the island, which lacks a harbour or airstrip, forcing all trade to be made by longboat to visiting ships. Occasionally, passengers from expedition-type cruise ships will come ashore for a day, weather permitting (Jaques, p.21). Today Pitcairn exports its renowned honey to New Zealand and to the United Kingdom, where it is stocked in London by Fortnum and Mason and Partridges in Sloane Square. The honey has become a favourite of Her Majesty, The Queen and Prince Charles (Evening Standard, 8 January 2010 "I'll let you off, Mr Christian: you make honey fit for a queen"). The Pitcairners also export dried fruits including bananas, papaya, pineapples and mangoes to New Zealand (Pitcairn Islands Study Center, News Release: Products from Pitcairn, 7 November 1999). The islanders live an extremely busy lifestyle. The island has a labor force of only 15 men and women (as of 2004) [ 13 Electricity on the island is provided by gas/diesel generators.
