==============================
           DOMINICA
==============================

Dominica is the most northerly
of the Windward Islands in the
West Indies. The island is
very rugged and consists of
inactive volcanoes. The
climate is tropical, and the
wettest season is from June to
October when hurricanes often
occur. The steep slopes are
difficult to farm, but
agriculture provides almost
all Dominica's exports, e.g.
bananas, copra, citrus fruits,
cocoa, bay leaves and vanilla.
Industry is mostly based on
the processing of the
agricultural products.
