In 2029, the value added from agriculture, fishing and forestry combined made up approximately 16.1% of Jusonía’s GDP. 60% of farm products are exported. Irrigation is an important and widespread practice for a country where many parts receive low rainfall. Agriculture, forestry and fishing was the second-strongest industry from 2023 to 2025, with the number of employees growing from 295,495 in February 2023 to 325,321 in February 2025. | In 2029, the value added from agriculture, fishing and forestry combined made up approximately 16.1% of Jusonía’s GDP. 60% of farm products are exported.

Cereals, oilseeds and grain legumes are produced on a large scale in the biggest islands such as Jusonia Mayor for human consumption and livestock feed. Wheat is the cereal with the greatest production in terms of area and value to the Jusonian economy. Sugarcane, grown in the most northern islands, is also an important crop; however, the unsubsidised industry is struggling to compete with the huge and much more efficient continental sugarcane industry. | Cereals, oilseeds and grain legumes are produced on a large scale in the biggest islands such as Jusonia Mayor for human consumption and livestock feed.
