Ecuador's Secondary Sector Topic 19
SMALL INDUSTRY AND CRAFTS.
Small businesses offer many jobs to the Ecuadorian population, although their
production and income are lower than those of large companies. The craft activity is
concentrated in the areas of textiles and clothing, food, footwear, wooden furniture,
metal products, goldsmithing and carving.
FISHING INDUSTRY AND ARTISINAL FISHING
The industry linked to fishing has developed rapidly in recent years. It has important
investments in the fleet fishery and the network of refrigerators, as well as in factories
for canning and processing of fishmeal and fish oil. Their sales are made mainly in
the international market; however, the
national poultry industry requires a large
amount of fishmeal.
MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY
Food and beverage industry
It is the most important branch of activity in
the manufacturing industry. It is the one with
the most workers. This, added to the refining
of oil and fuel and to the extraction of crude
oil and natural gas, represents 67% of the
total production of Ecuador. These activities
are concentrated in Guayas, Pichincha and
Sucumbíos
