The history of Porta Bianca's economy can be traced through a succession of dominant industries: education, tourism, coffee, pineapple, sugarcane, sandalwood, and the military. Even before it became a state and was still a territory, tourism has been the largest industry, contributing 19.6% of the gross state product (GSP) in 2004. In recent years, the state has added manufacturing as a major sector of its economy (primarily pharmaceuticals, textiles, petrochemicals, and electronics) as well as services (primarily finance, insurance, real estate, on top of tourism).
