Montserrat

Montserrat is a British Overseas Territory located in the Leeward islands, measuring 16 km long and 11 km wide. Since the devastation of Hurricane Hugo and the eruption of the Soufriere Hills Volcano, the Montserratian economy has been effectively halted and imports include virtually everything available for sale on the island. Half of the island remains uninhabitable, and economic activities particularly in agriculture and tourism, continue to be determined by the volcanic activity as the agriculture sector has been affected by the destruction of crops and limited land for farming.
