During [[the Sunderance]], Porfíria experienced a manufacturing boom. The loss of the Kiravian Mainland forced the relocation of many strategic {{wp|heavy industry|heavy industrial works}}, and Porfíria, with its abundance of raw materials, would become the destination for many. Industrial growth was most heavily concentrated in [[Cities of Kiravia#Krivôrok|Krivôrok]], where [[Tredagon Arms Factory]] opened a large munitions plant. Many such factories shut down in the decades following Kiravian Reunification, but some have remained, albeit with considerably reduced workforces. | During [[the Sunderance]], Porfíria experienced a manufacturing boom.

The climate and terrain of Porfíria are quite similar to that of Great Kirav, and colonists have had great success cultivating Kiravian staple crops such as potato, cale, barley, and oats. Crops native to Cusinaut, such as ''sallaw'' and clubfruit, are also cultivated, both by the indigenous population and on settler-owned land.

Crops native to Cusinaut, such as ''sallaw'' and clubfruit, are also cultivated, both by the indigenous population and on settler-owned land. Livestock raising is an important activity, focused on sheep and {{wp|guanacos|''tinav'' camelids}} introduced from Great Kirav. As a result of the {{wp|distributist}} land tenure policies adopted during colonisation and their continuation in the colony's own property laws, most settler-held agricultural land is family-owned and organised into parcels ranging from medium-sized estates to small, single-family homesteads. Most native-held agricultural land is owned collectively, either by tribes and clans according to traditional {{wp|customary law}} or by the governments of the autonomous ''Mannakidan'' territories. Forestry is also an important industry, and Porfíria is a rising producer of softwood timber, pine resins, and paper products. | ||
