In effect, the natural characteristics of the archipelago of the Azores ensure a
great diversity of agro-ecological conditions, with an emphasis on the excellent
conditions available for large scale cattle farming, due to soil and climate
conditions and the archipelago’s terrain.
The agro-forestry sector, including the associated processing industry, is also a
traditional specialised sector and is one of the most important dynamos in the
regional economy. This competitive specialisation, centred around milk and
meat production chains, has been maintained, with a continuous rise in
production levels and an increase in market shares.
In the Azores, pastures, forests and agricultural areas account for almost 80%
of the terrain. The total surface area of agricultural operations represents 56%
of the territory while the utilised agricultural area (UAA), mainly comprising
grazing lands, occupies approximately 92% of this surface area (a figure far
higher than Portugal’s national average, where the UAA corresponds to 78% of
the total surface area of agricultural operations).
