This region has developed industries and high level of economic development. The agriculture is mostly based on high value-added live animal mariculture and high economic value. The crop farming industry is dominated. Except for France and Germany, other countries in this region rely on imports due to the small economic benefits of land for industrial cities. Although the yield of large-scale low-economic grains is high (such as rice, wheat, and corn), the output is difficult to meet the demand.
The specific subdivision of western Europe has obvious diversity. Germany and Austria's agriculture mainly meets domestic demand, and the output value of agricultural products processing is not very important. The planting industry mainly includes rye, oats, potatoes, and sugar beets. At the same time, animal husbandry and dairy husbandry are also relatively developed.
French agriculture is diversified. Due to its relatively vast territory, sunshine and fertile soil, France is not only the world’s major basic food exporter, but also an important agricultural product processor. The main staple food crops in France are wheat and corn, and the main cash crops are Grapes, olives.
The agriculture of the southern Mediterranean coastal countries led by Italy is fully developing high-value crops. Taking Italy as an example, the extraction of olives and olive oil, grapes and wine occupy an absolutely important position in the world's export of high value-added agricultural products. The exports of olive oil and wine from Italy and Spain account for more than one-fourth of the international market. At the same time, fruits and vegetables are also an important part of agriculture in this area.
The surrounding countries on the Atlantic coast take the United Kingdom and the Netherlands as an example. Due to the climate and historical traditions, animal husbandry and dairy husbandry occupy a dominant position. The Dutch and Danish agriculture has adopted specialized agricultural methods due to the small land area and specializes in dairy cattle industry. Cheese processing is the agricultural industry in this region. The key to output value. The UK is dominated by animal husbandry, while the planting industry does not occupy a major position and relies on imports. Agricultural processing is mainly meat processing. At the same time, the region is one of the world’s major marine fishing grounds. The fishing and processing of surrounding countries also play an important role in the agricultural structure. status.
