Brunei is practically dependent on the
oil industry and it is said that the pumps are not likely to run dry until
the year 2020. In anticipation of this day, Brunei is currently diversifying
their economy to other industry such as rice farming, forestry and beef
production. However, oil production has been increased during the 1990s
and new fields have been discovered. Brunei also exports some rubber.
It is no doubt one of the world's largest exporters of liquefied natural
gas.
