Grenada

THIS CARIBBEAN ISLAND, with some much smaller islands located in the Windward Islands, has a land area of 132.8 sq. mi. (344 sq. km.), and a population of 103,000 (2005 est.). Grenada has a population density of 672.2 people per sq. mi. (259.5 people per sq. km.), [Page 478]making it 44th in the world in terms of population density. Some 15 percent of the land is arable, with a further 3 percent used for meadows or pasture. Unlike many other Caribbean islands, Grenada still relies heavily on agriculture; it is the second largest producer of nutmeg in the world, and agricultural output makes up some 90 percent of the exports from the country.
