on Imports

In Brunei, agriculture isn't the main thing because there
are lots of forests. People do grow some fruits like
bananas, durians, and pineapples, but not a whole lot.

mostly buys food from other countries because it's easier
and cheaper. So, agriculture in Brunei is not a huge deal
because they have other ways to get food.
