Percentage of Kivuan GDP by Industry
Tourism

Shipbuilding, aerospace, and automotive products make up the majority of Kivu’s manufacturing industry. Manufacturing accounts for 11.9% of GDP, and is the second largest industry in Kivu. Bluefront Inc. and Kivu Aerospace Company are the 2 largest manufacturing companies in Kivu.
One of the major factors limiting the Manufacturing industry, is Kivu’s reliance on importing materials, particularly metals, from other countries.
Agriculture
Despite Kivu’s large size, only about 5.3% of Kivu’s landmass, is used for agriculture. This is in part because of Kivu’s strict environmental regulations. Most of Kivu’s farmland is located in the southern interior regions near and to the south and west of Kivu City. However, Kivuian farmers, with help from the government, are extremely efficient, because of this efficiency agriculture is the 3rd largest industry in Kivu.
Exports and Imports
The Kivuian economy relies extensively on trade, particularly the importing of goods. Kivu’s main trade partners are: X,Y, and Z. Tariffs or import quotas are placed on imported goods to protect Kivuian businesses and to help pay for Kivu’s welfare state.
