Bretagne is known for its rich and varied agriculture: meats, eggs and dairy products, from Breton livestock farmers, are exported all over the world. The region also provides a variety of high quality fruit and vegetables, including tomatoes, strawberries, peas and green beans. With a large maritime area, its bustling ports ensure a strong fishing economy, which represents over 50% of French maritime fishing. These large primary areas of business provide the food industry with quality raw materials and have contributed to creating a powerful, dynamic and economic force.
