Local agriculture is directed towards the production of high quality fresh food crops through intensive land use. Farming is largely undertaken in the New Territories and just 2.3 per cent of the land area is under cultivation. Overall, the most common crops cultivated are vegetables and cut flowers, and production was valued at about $332 million in 2002. Pigs and poultry are the principal animals reared for food and the value of locally produced pigs amounted to $584 million and that of poultry, including chickens, pigeons and quails, to $247 million.
