Balearic manufacturing exports have increased almost 50% since 2015. Manuel Porras, the director-general for industrial policy, says that 2017 was the best year ever for exports. The 2015 value of exports was 1,155 million euros. Last year, this rose to 1,800 million. Porras attributes the increase to government and chambers of commerce plans for incentivising businesses' expansion and to businesses' improvements in quality and sales methods.

Agree. But it’s very sobering to see that vino doesn’t figure in the top ten Spanish exports either. Of more worry is that plastic is right up therein the top three - abdxwith the mood music that is playing out, that’s a big financial and employment hole to fill as the world cuts back.
I have always been surprised at how weak Mallorca is at promoting the wine industry.
