Agriculture produces vegetable and animal foodstuffs. Typical activities are farming and animal husbandry, grassland cultivation and the raising of specialised crops (for instance, fruits, vegetables and wine). In spite of its small 1% share or so of total economic output, agricultural production is very important as it enables the population to be supplied with a sufficiently large amount of foodstuffs at affordable prices. More than 80% of the required foodstuffs can be obtained from domestic production.
