Portugal industries:-
Industry (including construction, energy, and water) employs about one third of the labor force, and its contribution to the national economy has grown significantly in recent decades. It accounted for 29% of GDP in 2001. Industrial production in 2001 had maintained a 2.6% growth rate over 2000. Portuguese industry is mainly light; the development of heavy industry has been hampered by a shortage of electric power. Textiles—especially cottons and woolens—are the oldest and most important of Portugal's manufactures. Other principal industries are automotive assembly, electronics, glass and pottery, footwear, cement, cellulose and paper, rubber and chemicals, cork and cork products, and food industries (mainly canned fish). Small artisan industries, such as jewelry and homespun and hand-embroidered clothing, are of local importance.
Manufactured goods in the early 2000s included cement, wood pulp, crude steel for ingots, paper and paperboard, and radios and televisions. In 2003, footwear, automobiles, and textiles were the central industries. Portugal produced 239,719 automobiles in 2001, a 3% decrease from 2000. It produced 4,380 heavy trucks in 2000. The construction sector was attracting a high degree of investment in 2001.

The first chapter focuses on Brazil’s founding and history up until present. When the Portuguese were blown off course to Asia onto the coasts of Brazil in 1500, the Portuguese knew they had found a land filled with opportunities. The main attraction was the abundance of brazilwood which could be used for manufacturing luxurious fabrics in Europe. Over the centuries, exploration led to the discovery of more resources such as sugar, coffee, and precious metals that had made it a sought after country for colonization. Even to this day, Brazil maintains the image of a land with limitless resources since the recent discovery of oil and gas reserves and other commodities.

The interesting part of this industry is the fact that there is no company with a dominant market share. Even though some revenue numbers might be higher for some companies, each company has a specialty that it brings to the industry. One of the main costs is manufacturing their products. A major reason the companies are moving manufacturing plants to Asia and South America is to lower manufacturing costs.
In 1803 Portuguese exports to England were worth more than 10 million escudos, and the average worth of exports per year between 1800 and 1807 was 8 million escudos. Imports were also high, and part of these imports was sold to France and Spain. In 1810 a treaty was signed which opened the ports of Brazil to trade with Britain. Portugal was therefore cut out of the ‘trade triangle’ that it had previously monopolised.

Even if the government has made the process slower and costlier than it needed to be, Brazil will be a big oil exporter by 2020. It has several manufacturing jewels, and is developing a world-class research base in biotechnology, genetic sciences and deep-sea oil and gas technology.

Despite the recent protests, it does not have the social or ethnic divisions that blight other emerging economies, such as India or Turkey.
