Major Agricultural Products
Portugal's climatic and topographic conditions allow for an extremely large number of crops, including olives, figs, citrus, mushrooms, sunflower, tomatoes, cereals, bananas (in Madeira Island) and pineapple (in São Miguel Island). Wine, table grapes, leaf vegetables, dairy, tomatoes for processing, rice, sugar beets, mushrooms, cork and olives are very competitive. Improved marketing practices since the 1990s, enabled fresh horticultural and fruit products of Portuguese origin to become widely demanded in both the domestic and export markets.
