Resumen
Descripción
Trade of food and beverages between Solomon Islands and its international trade partners is an increasingly dominant component of the Solomon Islands Food System. Post-Second World War trade was mostly export of cash crops including copra, and import of incidental commodities including wheat flour, canned meat, biscuits and sugar. Since this time, however, and particularly since the period of tensions, imports have grown dramatically, including a diverse array of highly processed foods and staples. Yet, an accurate understanding of Solomon Islands food and beverage trade and how it affects many aspects of life including health, the domestic economy, and traditional agriculture, has been unavailable until now.
