After the very lucrative decades of 60, 70 and 80, in which Portugal was one of the world leaders resin with an average production of 140,000 tons, the sector seems to go back now to awaken interest for domestic producers after years of stagnation. The interest in this raw material, which Portugal was already the second largest exporter in the world and the largest in Europe, is to bring back the old resin workers to the asset. Today the domestic industry produces about 10 thousand tons per year. Portuguese pines return to bleed.
