Which crops are grown in Austria’s agricultural regions?

Due to Austria's mountainous terrain, only about half of the country's land is suitable for cultivation, with the most productive agricultural regions located in the east, particularly in Burgenland, Steiermark, Kärnten, and Niederösterreich.1

The primary crops grown in these regions include:

• Grains and Field Crops: Wheat, corn (maize), barley, rye, sugar beets, and fodder beets.12
• Specialty Crops: Potatoes, apples, and various fruits.12
• Viticulture: Extensive grape cultivation occurs in areas such as the Weinviertel, the Danube Gorge, and along the slopes of the Vienna Basin.12

In addition to these crops, the Alpine foreland and the Vienna Basin support market gardening, and livestock raising—specifically pigs and cattle—is widespread across the country's agricultural areas.12
