The Kir are a traditionally agrarian people, and much of their identity, folklore, and foodways are rooted in the agricultural lifestyle of their native region. The staple crops of the Kir heartland are the indispensible potato, ''[[Agriculture_in_Great_Kirav#Cereals|dralm]]'', and {{wp|Buckwheat|Coscivian cuckwheat}}. | |||
Changing market conditions brought on by the expansion of intercontinental trade in agricultural commodities from the latter half of the 19th century AD induced many farms in the Kir regions to shift away from food staples to high-value industrial crops such as rapeseed and flax in which Kiravia enjoyed a comparative advantage. | |||
Under the post-verticalist mode of agrarian social organisation, most large-scale cultivation of onions and leeks in the Kir lands was undertaken by ethnic minorities, such as the [[Ĥeiran_Coscivians#Ensciryan_Peoples|Kernans and Phrydhians]]. | |||
