Spain
Index
Food processing had become a major industry in Spain,
and by
1985 this activity employed 450,000 workers in about
70,000
firms. These enterprises were dominated by about 150 large
companies, many of which belonged to foreign multinational
corporations. Capital expenditures by all food processing
companies amounted to US$580 million in 1985, and the
sector's
productive value was about US$20 billion in the same year.
Changes in the nation's food consumption patterns and
increased
tourism substantially contributed to the expansion of the
food
processing industry.
