Ireland - Agriculture. About 1,346,000 ha (3,326,000 acres), or 19.5% of the total area, were devoted to growing crops in 1998. About 6% of the agricultural acreage is used for growing cereals, 1.5% for growing root and green crops, and the balance for pasture and hay. Thus most of the farmland is used to support livestock, the leading source of Ireland's exports. Most farms are small, although there has been a trend toward consolidation. In 1999, agriculture accounted for 8% of Irish employment. Principal crops (with their estimated 1999 production) include barley, 1,278,000 tons; sugar beets, 1,712,000 tons; potatoes, 559,000 tons; wheat, 597,000 tons; and oats, 136,000 tons. Over half of agricultural production, by value, is exported.
