Agriculture:
the fertile plains of Vojvodina produce 80% of the cereal production of the
former Yugoslavia and most of the cotton, oilseeds, and chicory; Vojvodina
also produces fodder crops to support intensive beef and dairy production;
Serbia proper, although hilly, has a well-distributed rainfall and a long
growing season; produces fruit, grapes, and cereals; in this area, livestock
production (sheep and cattle) and dairy farming prosper; Kosovo province
produces fruits, vegetables, tobacco, and a small amount of cereals; the
mountainous pastures of Kosovo and Montenegro support sheep and goat
husbandry; Montenegro has only a small agriculture sector, mostly near the
coast where a Mediterranean climate permits the culture of olives, citrus,
grapes, and rice
