There are around 70,000 farms in Fariva, with an average size of 28 hectares. Agriculture is a small component of the Farivan economy in terms of GDP share and employment, but is nonetheless crucial to local economies across the state and utilises a significant share of its land area. The state's poor soils, terrain, and climate have long limited agricultural activity, and Farivan farmers are poorly positioned to compete in the domestic and international produce markets. Livestock farming - mainly sheep, dairy cattle, goats, and hogs - is the most productive agricultural activity. Farivan farmers also grow staple crops such as potato, wildrye, and oats, and there are many apple orchards to supply the state's cider brewries. | There are around 70,000 working farms in Fariva, with an average size of 28 hectares.
