Despite being seen as the most important sector in the economy of Solomon Islands, national statistic shows that there is limited activity in this sector. Most manufactured goods are imported and export of Solomon Islands products are considered more as primary products. There is limited downstream processing and the national government is considering giving more fiscal incentives to induce value added productions. There is huge potential in this sector giving the country large natural resource base. Manufacturing of semi to finish products always top the priority list of the national government and those investment that fall in this category can access direct government incentives without much hindrance.

For specific information on the potential of the manufacturing sector, please consult the Director of Industry, Ministry of Commerce, Industry, labor and Immigration.
