Solomon Islands is a captivating island nation located east of Papua New Guinea. It comprises six major islands and over 900 smaller islands, offering diverse landscapes and rich cultural heritage. The country includes mountainous volcanic islands such as Choiseul, the Shortland Islands, the New Georgia Islands, Santa Isabel, the Russell Islands, the Florida Islands, Tulagi, Malaita, Maramasike, Ulawa, Owaraha (Santa Ana), Makira (San Cristobal), and the main island of Guadalcanal. Additionally, Solomon Islands includes smaller isolated low atolls and volcanic islands like Sikaiana, Rennell Island, Bellona Island, the Santa Cruz Islands, and outliers such as Tikopia, Anuta, and Fatutaka.
Solomon Islands experiences an ocean-equatorial climate with high humidity throughout the year. The average temperature is 26.5 °C (79.7 °F), and while there are no distinct seasons, the cooler period occurs from June to August. The northwesterly winds from November to April bring increased rainfall and occasional squalls or cyclones. The country receives an average annual rainfall of about 3,050 millimeters (120 inches). According to the WorldRiskReport 2021, Solomon Islands ranks second among countries with the highest disaster risk globally.
As a least developed country, Solomon Islands heavily relies on subsistence agriculture and fishing, with more than 75% of the labor force engaged in these sectors. CargoMaster understands the unique challenges and requirements of transporting goods in this context. The country depends on imports for manufactured goods and petroleum products, and agriculture occupies only 3.9% of the land area, with forests covering 78.1%. The Solomon Islands Government has gone through financial challenges but has successfully restructured its budget and is seeking to renegotiate its foreign obligations with the support of aid donors such as Australia, New Zealand, the European Union, Japan, and Taiwan.
The currency of Solomon Islands is the Solomon Islands dollar (SBD), which was introduced in 1977. It replaced the Australian dollar at par and is subdivided into 100 cents. CargoMaster understands the local context and the importance of traditional and ceremonial practices, including the use of shell money in certain provinces and remote areas. While the barter system still exists in some remote regions, the Solomon Islands dollar is the primary currency for trade, and CargoMaster ensures seamless financial transactions in your freight operations.
Solomon Islands is renowned for its agricultural products, and CargoMaster is well-versed in handling these commodities. In 2017, the country produced 317,682 tons of coconuts, making it the 18th largest coconut producer globally, with 24% of exports corresponding to copra. Cocoa beans are predominantly grown on islands such as Guadalcanal, Makira, and Malaita, with the Solomon Islands ranking 27th in cocoa production worldwide in 2017, with 4,940 tons harvested. Palm oil production is also significant, with 285,721 tons produced in 2017, placing Solomon Islands as the 24th largest producer globally. CargoMaster is equipped to handle these cash crops and other exports such as copra, cocoa, and palm oil efficiently and effectively.
