Agriculture in Nova Scotia is concentrated in specific regions, such as the Annapolis Valley, where soil conditions support productive farming. The province's agricultural output primarily focuses on the following products:1
- Dairy products2
- Livestock2
- Poultry and eggs2
- Fruit2
- Field crops1
Additionally, the province supports growing industries related to maple syrup and Christmas trees. While much of the province's landmass is unsuitable for farming due to acidic soil and mountainous terrain, historical efforts—such as the diking of marshlands along the Bay of Fundy—have successfully expanded the available agricultural base.21
