Some other countries like Australia and New Zealand also gain money from tourism. Manufacturing is another way Oceania keep it's economy above water, especially Fiji and other South Pacific islands. Some countries mine resources such as the Solomon Islands. Fishing also takes a small part in the economy of Oceania. Some countries take donations such as the Solomon Islands, as 50% of their government's money is donated from stronger countries. Agriculture comes from the Pacific islands and includes timber, coconut, beef, palm oil, cocoa, and ginger.
