Economy

Vojvodina has some of the richest agricultural land in Serbia. Major crops are wheat, maize, sugar beet, hemp, and sunflowers. Livestock includes cattle, sheep, pigs, and poultry. Horticulture and grape cultivation are also important. Local industry includes large-scale food processing, textiles, machinery, petrochemicals, mineral fertilizers, and cement production. There has traditionally been commercial navigation on the Danube, although this was partially obstructed by the United Nations embargo against Serbia and Montenegro (imposed in May 1992 and finally lifted in October 2000).
