Insect Stamp of Republic of Cabo Verde

Cabo Verde consists of Cape Verde islands of the size 15 on the Atlantic Ocean of 500km of offings of Senegal. There are many alpine clubs on volcanic semicircle-like islands. It became independent of Portugal in 1975. Agriculture is growing a banana, sugarcane, coffee, the orange, etc. using a volcano plateau or a valley. However, since there is little precipitation, it is attacked in many cases by the drought, and 80% of food is dependent on import. For this reason, a fishing is important, and fish and shellfishes, such as a tuna and a shrimp, and the processed goods of those are important food, and are also exports. In addition, taking advantage of the geographical advantage on the Atlantic Ocean, service is offered as a route, an air route, deep-sea fishing, and a communicative relay base and a communicative supply base.
Six kinds of agricultural protection commemorative stamps which drew the insect from this Cabo Verde in 1988, and one kind of small sheets describing the agricultural development international organization were issued.
