Once a single-crop agricultural economy, Saint Lucia has shifted to a tourism and banking serviced-based economy. Tourism, the island's biggest industry and main source of jobs, income and foreign exchange, accounts for 65% of its GDP. Agriculture, which was once the biggest industry, now contributes to less than 3% of GDP, but still accounts for 20% of jobs. The banana industry is now on a decline due to strong competition from low-cost Latin American producers and reduced European trade preferences, but the government has helped revitalize the industry, with 13,734 tonnes exported in 2018. Agricultural crops grown for export are bananas, mangoes, and avocados. The island is considered to have the most diverse and well-developed manufacturing industry in the eastern Caribbean.

rdfs:comment	سانت لوسيا هي واحدة من جزر أنتيل ويندوارد، وهي مجموعة من الجزر الواقعة قبالة الساحل الجنوبي الشرقي لأمريكا الشمالية. نظراً لحجمها الصغير والنقص النسبي في الموارد الجيولوجية فإن اقتصادها يعتمد العقد 2000 في المقام الأول على بيع الموز، والدخل الناتج من السياحة، مع مدخلات إضافية من التصنيع على نطاق صغير. (ar) L'économie de Sainte-Lucie se situe dans la tranche des pays à revenu intermédiaire. Son économie est cependant dépendante des fluctuations extérieures et des aléas climatiques fréquents dans la région. (fr) L'economia de Saint Lucia depèn en gran part del cultiu del bananer. No obstant això, els canvis en el règim d'importacions de la Unió Europea i la creixent competència dels productors Amèrica Llatina han forçat la diversificació. En anys recents la indústria del turisme i les finances internacionals han adquirit un paper preponderant en la composició de la seva Producte Intern Brut i ara gairebé el 73% del mateix és generat per la indústria de serveis (2002). El seu sector de manufactura, encara que menys important, és un dels més diversificats del Carib Oriental.

(en) La economía del país depende en gran parte del cultivo de plátanos. Sin embargo, los cambios en el régimen de importaciones de la Unión Europea y la creciente competencia de los productores América Latina han forzado la diversificación. En años recientes la industria del turismo y las finanzas internacionales han adquirido un papel preponderante en la composición de su Producto Interno Bruto y ahora casi el 73% del mismo es generado por la industria de servicios (2002). Su sector de manufactura, aunque menos importante, es uno de los más diversificados del Caribe Oriental. (es) O esteio da economia de Santa Lúcia é a produção de banana, que representa cerca de 40% das exportações, cultivada em grandes plantações. Mudanças no regime de preferências da União Europeia e a concorrência com a produção dos países latino-americanos tornaram a diversificação econômica uma prioridade para o país. Há ainda produção de cacau, frutas cítricas e cocos. As principais indústrias são a de rum e a de óleos comestíveis. A mão de obra se emprega no turismo, na pesca, mineração de cal e extração de sal.
