In Tuvalu, agriculture is based on coconut and swamp taro (Cyrtosperma chamissonis), (known in Tuvalu as Pulaka),which is similar to taro (Colocasia esculenta), but "with bigger leaves and larger, coarser roots"; taro is also cultivated in Tuvalu.

Bananas and breadfruit are supplemental crops.The dried flesh of the coconut (copra) is the main agricultural export of Tuvalu, with other agricultural products consumed locally.

Because of the young geological age of the reef islands and atolls and high level of soil salination the soils is relatively poor.
