On average, in 2011 the agricultural farms realized about 25,600 euro of product (of which the 93.4 percent has been commercialized), with a gross operating surplus (Rlg) of about 13,600 euro by farm.
In comparison with 2010, the number of farms increased by 0.2 percent, production by 7.8 percent, value added by 7.9 percent and employment by 2.2 percent.
