Suriname is rich in natural resources, but its economic base is relatively weak and its economic development is unbalanced. The national economy mainly depends on aluminum mining, processing and manufacturing and agriculture. In recent years, the economic development of the Soviet Union has been frustrated, the exchange rate has been unstable, prices have risen, and the inflation rate has risen sharply.

I think it is the most difficult for people to do business in other places, especially if you don't know anyone there, so it is difficult to open the market. Secondly, no matter how good you speak English, it's useless. You must be familiar with the local dialect.

Let me give you an opinion. Suriname is rich in mineral resources. You'd better mine there, but you should pay attention to safety first. Mining is a labor-intensive industry. It is very important to have a good relationship with the local people because a large number of labor are needed for employment.
