The most important cereals are
wheat, oats, rye. A significant part of
cereals goes to feed livestock, but the
rest goes to the production of bread,
cereals, etc. In animal husbandry,
cattle are the most important. In
agriculture, they try to maintain a
high level of self-sufficiency, with the
exception of the production of sugar
and cheese; which are imported.
Currently, the UK ranks sixth
among EU member states in terms
of agricultural production. On
