Yemen is a presidential republic with bi-cameral legislature.

Economy-Industry,Yemen
In northern Yemen industry traditionally has been based on food processing., but this subsector has suffered from poor productivity of agriculture and reliance on imported raw materials.Building materials, textiles, leather wear, jewellry, and glass making are other industries in the north.The largest industry in Southern Yemen is petroleum refining.Southern manufactures include clothing, processed food, metal products, soap, and perfumes . Industrial production accounts for 40% of GDP (1998 est).Yemen's main refinery at Aden processed 60,000 barrels of petroleumper day in 1994after sustaining damage in the civil war .Output reached 100,000barrels per day by the start of 1995 with the repair of the main pumping station and two tapping units. That year, the refinery produced 26.5 million barrels of kerosene. In 2002, Yemen's total refinery capacity is 130,000 barrels per day, most from the 120,000barrels per day capacity. Aden refinery operated by the Aden Refinary Company (ARC), and the rest from a 10,000 barrels per day refinery at Mariboperated by Yemen Hunt Oil Company. In Dec 2002, the govt signed an agreement with the Hadramawt Refinery Company, a Saudi Venture , for the construction of a 50,000-barrels per day refinery at Al Mukalla costing $450 million. yemen's considerable natural gas reserves - estimated at 480 billion cu m (16.9 trillion cu ft), have not been developed . A liquefied natural gas project was initiated in 1995 by Total Fina Elf and several other major multinational oil companies, which established the Yemen Liquefied Natural Gas Company (Yemen LNG). To date, however, the company has not been ableto locate enough credit-worthy buyers of the output that it could sign up for the period of 20years of more generally needed to justify the large capital outlays for liquefication and port facilities, and LNG tankers. In June 2002, two US compnies, Exoon Mobil and Hunt Oil, announced they were leaving the consortium. Shortly after Yemen extended approval for an additional four years.

Agriculture-Economy of Yemen
Yemen, with its wide range of arable climatic zones, has the greatest potential for agricultural development of any nation on the Arabian Peninsula. Agriculture is an important part of economy (accounting for 17% of GDP in 2001), despite the lack of arable land, scarcity of water, periodic droughts, and difficult terrain . Employment in the agricultural sector accounts for more than 64% of the work force , but with only 3% of its land area arable, Yemen's potential for agricultural self-sufficiency is very remote. As of 2001, Yemen imported $857.2 million in agricultural products.
traditionally, Yemen was famous for its coffee, shipped from the port of Al-Mukha, from which the English word mocha derives. The main cash crop is qat, a mild stimulant chewed by many Yemenis on a daily basis, using modern irrigation techniques, provides a level of production to nearly nearly satisfy domestic demand. As a high cost producer , Yemen is not yet able to internationally compete in marketing its produce , especially since such exports are often blocked at the borders. Agriculture out put in 1999 ( in 1,000 tons) included sorghum, 321, tomatoes, 248, wheat-144, grapes-160, bananas-88, cotton-25, coffee-12, etc.

Agriculture in Papua New Guinea is divided into a large subsistence sector and a smaller monetary sector for export. Agriculture's importance has steadily declined since 1985, when it made up 34% of GDP-in 2001, agriculture only contributed about 30 % of GDP. About 85% of population engages in subsistence agriculture. Subsistence crops include yams, taro, and other staple vagetables. cash crops are increasing in rural areas stimulated by govt financed development programms. Production by small farmers of coffee, copra, cocoa, and oil palm is important,
the industrial sector, contributed by the small domestic marketand the population's low purchsing powers , is largely undeveloped. industries are concentrated in industrial metals , timber processing , machinary, tools, etc. Although industrial productuion, including construction and the provision of utilities, electricity, and water, has increased to about 40%of GDP.The manufacturing component has been decreasing as p c of GDP from 9.5 % in 1980, to 9 % in growth .
