The population of Roraima is mainly concentrated in the eastern part of the state. Roraima is the least populated Brazilian State having lowest population density. The historical evidences say it has been a state of indians and as a result the indians affair affects the economy greatly. With the course time Roraima is succumbing to mass tourism.

The major economic product of Roraima is cattle that are raised on the oriental portion of the state. Since the state is isolated from the rest of the country most of the production is directed to the Venezuela and Guyanas markets. On the other hand, agriculture production is being done for internal consumption. The major products are rice, corn, banana, manioc and orange.
