Agriculture

Agriculture on Andrott is entirely dictated by its coral sandy soil, which lacks the nutrients and water retention required for traditional cereal crops.

* **Crops:** Coconut is the undisputed primary crop, covering almost the entire cultivable area of the island. Small quantities of fruits like bananas, papayas, and some root vegetables are grown in household gardens. * **Livestock:** Mostly limited to backyard poultry and a small number of goats for local dairy and meat consumption. * **Fisheries:** Acts as the "agriculture of the sea." Tuna, specifically skipjack tuna, is harvested sustainably using the pole-and-line method. The catch is often dried or smoked to make *mas min*, a local delicacy that is also exported. * **Forestry:** There are no commercial forests, only the ubiquitous coconut plantations.
