The nation has been unable to achieve any substantial improvement in export earnings because of falling prices for many of its major commodity exports. For rice, traditionally the most important export, the drop in world prices has been accompanied by shrinking markets and a smaller volume of sales. In 1985 teak replaced rice as the largest export and continues to hold this position. The economy is heavily dependent on the agricultural sector, which generates about 40% of GDP and provides employment for 65% of the work force. Burma has been largely isolated from international economic forces and has been trying to encourage foreign investment, so far with little success. GDP: exchange rate conversion - $22.2 billion, per capita $530; real growth rate 5.6% (1991) Inflation rate (consumer prices): 40% (1991) Unemployment rate: 9.6% in urban areas (FY89 est.)

(China, the former Soviet Union, Iraq, Brazil, India and Nigeria.) What is a hill station? (A town between 1,200 and 10,000 feet above sea level where colonial administrators in Asia and Africa would visit to escape the heat of lower elevations.) What crop was grown in many of these areas? (Tea.) What modern economic activity has become important to hill stations? (Tourism and golf.)
