Palau has almost an entirely subsistence based agricultural production, meaning they do not sell their crops. Most households outside of Koror (the capital city) are engaged in subsistence agriculture growing taro, cassava, sweet potato, bananas, and papayas.

Haiti is another example of an island nation where two-thirds of the population engages in subsistence farming. It is estimated that 60% of Haiti's workforce is unemployed. From my own experience on the island I would say the crops are probably very similar to those grown in Palau. Bananas, dasheen (taro), tania, sweet potatos, cassava, papaya, breadfruit, mangoes, plantains, and coconuts are probably all crops in Haiti.

Nepal appears to be highly dependent on subsistence farming with over 90% of the population estimated to be employed in subsistence farming.
