In 2004, Equatorial Guinea is the third-largest oil producer in Sub-Saharan Africa. The production of oil and gas, carried by three big offshore fields (Zafiro, Alba, Ceiba), allowed the country to have a two digit economic growth since around ten years and to become one of the biggest conductors of foreign investments in Africa.
Forestry, farming, and fishing are also major components of GDP. Subsistence farming predominates.
