    Vol. 22 - Comoros

    Marubeni Research Institute 2016/09/02 Sub -Saharan Report Sub-Saharan Africa is one of the focal regions of Global Challenge 2015. These reports are by Mr. Kenshi Tsunemine, an expatriate employee working in Johannesburg with a view across the region. Vol. 22 - Comoros June 10, 2016 It was well known that Marilyn Monroe wore Chanel No. 5 perfume when she went to bed. Did you know that Chanel No. 5’s essence (essential oils) comes from the flower called ylang-ylang, which is found in the African country of Comoros? Comoros is also where the so-called “living fossils”, a rare pre-historic species of fish called coelacanths, discovered in 1938 in South Africa after having thought to be extinct, are mostly found. So this time I would like to introduce the country of Comoros, fascinating like Marilyn Monroe and a little mysterious like the coelacanths. Table 1: Comoros Country Information The Union of the Comoros is an archipelago island nation located off the coast of East Africa east of Mozambique and northwest from Madagascar. 4 main islands make up the Comoros archipelago, Grande Comore, Moheli, Anjouan and Mayotte, with Grande Comore, Moheli, and Anjouan forming the Union of Comoros and Mayotte falling under French jurisdiction as an ‘overseas department” or region. The population of the 3 islands making up the Union of the Comoros is about 800,000, while their total land area comes to 2,236 square kilometers, about the same land size as Tokyo, which makes it quite a small country. Nominal GDP is roughly $600 million, which is second from the bottom among the 45 sub-Saharan African countries, just above Sao Tome and Principe, and its population is the 5th lowest (note 1).

    The Outermost Regions European Lands in the World Mayotte

    Açores Madeira Saint-Martin Canarias Guadeloupe THE OUTERMOST REGIONS Martinique Guyane Mayotte EUROPEAN LANDS IN THE WORLD La Réunion 235 000 inhabitants 374 km2 ● Situated in the northern Mozambique Channel in the Indian Ocean, 295 km from Madagascar, Mayotte is made of two main islands and islets, with 235 000 inhabitants ● The island has great natural and cultural assets which are an excellent base for developing tourism. Agricultu- Mamoudzou re, fisheries and aquaculture are traditional sectors, still MAYOTTE poorly structured. ● The region faces many challenges: a GDP reaching less than one third of the EU average; a high unemployment rate affecting in particular young people; a very young and mostly non-qualified population; a strong pres- sure of Illegal immigration. In addition, water resources are limited and basic infrastructures are still insufficient. WHAT WILL THE NEW STRATEGY BRING TO MAYOTTE? By encouraging the outermost regions to capitalise on their unique assets, the strategy will help them create new opportunities for their people, boost innovation in sectors like agriculture, fisheries or tourism, while deepening the cooperation with neighbour countries. For the Mayotte, the strategy could help support in particular: ✓ A solid blue economy sector, by encouraging the development of marine renewable energy, aquaculture and blue biotechnologies and local fisheries ✓ A more competitive agri-food sector with modernised production processes ✓ Enhanced mobility, employability and new skills for young people by financially
