About 85% of this country is counted in the labor force is involved in agriculture. This country mostly produces cocoa, coffee, tea, oil, copper and wood for countries like Australia, China and Japan. Recently an American firm has begun investing in the country in the hopes of utilizing its oil reserves, but the process is slow. A very small percent of this country's population lives in urban areas and much of the population still lives in small villages. For their manufactured goods they are almost completely dependent on Australia. What country is this?

Traditional Stage

Explanation:

In the traditional stage, most of the occupation of the population is always agriculture, the people are over reliant on the finished goods of other countries because of their lower wealth and most of the population is living in the rural areas, which is the case here. As it seems that the country is struggling to achieve a take-off stage because it is trying to attract foreign investment (An American company has invested in Oil reserves extraction), so we can say that it is still in the traditional stage because it hasn't increased its home demand for technology, infrastructure development, production increases, greater trade with other countries, etc which are the characteristics of the take-off stage.
