Revival of Agriculture
How many people know that Portugal is the fourth largest producer of tomatoes in the world? If you open a can of tomatoes or pour tomato ketchup on your food you will have almost certainly eaten wonderfully ripe tomatoes from Portugal. Only the USA, China and Italy produce more. Portugal’s agriculture is undergoing a timely revival, helped (ironically) by the financial crisis. Land that was as good as abandoned five years ago is suddenly coming into production again and Portugal is moving much closer to national self- sufficiency in many areas.
