With respect to the whole Veneto region, the province has acquired more and more importance, so that it ranks second only behind Verona. The gross agricultural, forestry and livestock production at local level amounts to 1,429 billion Lire and corresponds to 17% of the total regional figure.

Herbaceous cultivations, mainly cereals, account for 33.3% of the province's total production.

TThis specific sector saw the gradual extension, to the detriment of other crops, of maize-cultivated surfaces characterized by higher yield and quality for supplying the livestock establishments.

As far as vegetables are concerned, special mention must be made of the famous red Treviso and Castelfranco radicchio varieties and the white asparagus.

NAs far as the wine growing and producing sector is concerned, the gross production in Treviso accounts for 31% of the total Veneto production. The Marca area is famous indeed for its highly appreciated wines, particularly Prosecco from Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, as well as wines from Piave such as Cabernet and Merlot.

It is also worth mentioning the cherry and kiwi fruit orchards, as well as the more recent olive-growing, much appreciated also for the role in enhancing the landscape and highlighting the environmental priorities.

As far as farming is concerned, it represents 38.7% of the total production in the province (14% of the Veneto production), and meat production is considerable. Despite the fact that cattle farms in the province of Treviso comply with all safety and approval requirements, the recent BSE case in Europe has seen customers falling back on alternative meat types. A reduction of milk production has also ensued, and it can be attributed to the European milk-quota-based policy.
