New Caledonia's economy is dominated by the nickel industry.

There are currently three major nickel related projects under way in the Territory, namely, those of Société Le Nickel, Falconbridge Limited and the International Nickel Corporation (Inco) (see A AC.109 2000 4, paras. 30 32 A AC.109 2001 14, paras. 33 36 and A AC.109 2002 13, paras.

The Territory, which is the third largest nickel producer in the world after the Russian Federation and Canada, is estimated to have at least 25 per cent of the world's nickel reserves27 and is responsible for 6 per cent of the world's nickel output, employing some 3,500 people in mining firms of varying sizes.

The United States imports an average of 130,000 tons of raw nickel per year.

The most important of these is stainless steel, which contains mainly chromium and nickel in varying proportions.

Major outward investors include Lukoil, Gazprom, Novoship, Norilsk Nickel, Primorsk Shipping Corporation and the Far East Shipping Company.
