Bora Bora is a small island and thus has limited resources. As a result, the island relies mainly on importing its products. The island’s agriculture is very limited and its most valuable item is the coconut because it is used to make copra which is then used for creating coconut oil. The island of Tupai is part of Bora Bora and is exclusively used for growing coconuts. Since the island was born from the molten lava of Mount Otemanu, livestock is also very limited. The little wildlife that does exist is a result of foreign people bringing them over. Horses, cows, sheep, pigs, dogs, cats and rats are some of the few animals that can be found. Much of its importation of vegetables, fruit and meat comes from nearby Papeete.
