Agriculture employs some 16% of Sydonans, and is focused on the production of Levanto-Sarpic staple crops (e.g. wheat, barley), [[Kiravian cuisine|Kiravian staples]] (potato, drallion), wine grapes, beef cattle, and a wide selection of temperate fruits and vegatables. Ducks are raised widely across Sydona, and are a major ingredient in Austral Coscivian cuisine. Sydona is the leading producer of {{wp|yerba mate}} in the Federacy. | Agriculture employs some 16% of Sydonans, and is focused on the production of Levanto-Sarpic staple crops (e.g. wheat, barley), [[Kiravian cuisine|Kiravian staples]] (potato, drallion), wine grapes, beef cattle, and a wide selection of temperate fruits and vegatables. A warm temperate to submediterranean climate, level terrain on Grand Sydona, and comparatively low labour costs have helped establish Sydona as an agricultural exporter to the Kiravian and international markets.

Sydona is by far the largest producer and per-capita consumer of {{wp|wine}} in the Kiravian collectivity. Vineyards are an important pillar of the rural economy on the hilly outer islands, which offer many locations with desirable ''terroir'' for {{wp|viticulture}}. Sydona Œnotechnical Enterprises SAK, better known by its {{wp|trade name}} 'Swallowtail Wines', took over management of the largest state-owned vineyards when they were privatised in 21192, and produces affordable varietal wines, mainly for the Kiravian market. It is the best-known wine brand among Kiravian consumers. Another major commercial winery is SAK Évard Cellars, a subsidiary of [[Alquifer]] operating in Yeğvard Raion (Marketing consultants rendered ''Yevard'' as ''Évard'' to dupe customers into thinking the wine was [[Burgundie|Burgoniesc]] and therefore good, when in fact it is neither). | |||
