Czech Republic

Agriculture and the food production related to this is one of the traditional industries of the Czech Republic's national economy. Czech agriculture has under its belt centuries of tradition that not only guaranteed the coveted self-sufficiency of the nation in basic foods, but also made this Central European corner of the world famous abroad. Commodities such as milk, livestock, grain, sugar and malt have long asserted themselves as agricultural exports. Agriculture is no longer for the production of food only but now occupies an important social and environmental function.
