Quebec's Agriculture
Agricultural Territory
Quebec's agricultural space represents only 2% of its vast area (almost 1 700 000 km squared)
Not mush of this land can be used, that's why there is only 2% used. Most of land is a rock plateau with infertile soil, or soil that is permanently frozen. Some of the land climate is too cold or not enough rainy. So its only around the Saint Lawrence river that there is agricultural activities.
In 2003, crop production and raising livestock brought in $5.8 billion. In 1950 revenue of this sector of the economy was 376 million.
