Countries with small populations can also develop production for niche markets like organic food, flowers, horticulture and the like. For smaller countries, exporting agricultural surpluses and developing production for international niche markets are viable options. The first priority is to upgrade to more value added activities in areas where some industrial capabilities already exist. If an economy depends almost entirely on external markets for growth, its scope for employment creation is limited by the ability to benefit from demand expansion in other countries or by the ability to increase market shares.
