Traditionally, Chile is known for its wine and copper. Mining has been part of the Chilean history, economy, and culture since shortly after the beginning of the Spanish rule. The majority of the mining took place in the Northern part of the country, By 1830, Chile was the fourth largest producer of copper in the world, and is currently the number one producer of copper, contributing to approximately 40% of the production by the western continents. However, Chile was one of the first developing countries to focus on exports for financial growth. They have currently added timber, fishing and agribusiness to their export market. Fresh fruit is the second largest export industry behind copper.
