What are Waterford’s main economic activities?

Waterford’s economy includes farming, coastal trade, agricultural industries, traditional glassmaking, and tourism. Much of the county’s land is used for crops and pasture. Permanent grass covers about two-thirds of its farmed land, while hay covers nearly one-tenth and crops more than one-fifth. Oats are the main cereal crop. Dairying, beef cattle, and sheep also provide important income, and tourism has become another significant source of income.
