For years this Province suffered from poor transportation infrastructures which contributed to economic stultification, isolation, and emigration of its younger population.

It currently is the main agricultural area of France and improved roadways and railroads have spurred new industrial development in its cities (motor vehicle plants in Rennes, engineering and electronics in Brest). Tourism plays an active economic role.

France;s fishing industry is alive and well in Brittany.
