Agriculture contributes around 10% to the country’s GDP and employs nearly one-third of the population. The main agricultural products are cotton, sugarcane, coffee, wheat, rice, corn, and barley. Peru is one of the world's largest producers of coca leaves (and its paste) which is primarily exported to Colombia where it is used to make cocaine. Peru has a large mining industry which was privatized during 1990s and attracts large investments; the most valuable minerals being copper, gold and silver. Peru is the world’s second-largest producer of silver, sixth-largest producer of gold and copper, and an important supplier of zinc and lead. Peru is a source of both natural gas and petroleum, although the country is a net energy importer. Peru's principal manufacturing activities include production of textiles, consumer goods, processed food and fish products, and cement. The tourism sector is also well developed. The services sector contributes nearly 58% to the GDP. The World Bank granted a loan of 20 billion dollars to Peru in March 2005.
