Zīrkęnian agriculture

The People's Republic of Zīrkę has a varied landscape. Lowlands and water in the coastal region and the Midlands, as well as hills and mountans in the east and in the Mīrson Republic. In the Low- and Midlands the most common agricultural use of the land is wheat, other grains, vegetables or cattle for dairy production. Pork is rarely eaten in Zīrkęnian cuisine, most people don't like it. However, pork is available in most of the restaurants, especialy in Komsomol.

The hills of the Mīrson Republic are used for sheep, and that's where Zīrkęnian cuisine is famous for throughout Scandia. The large sheep companies make a lot of money, good for 65% of the GNP of Mīrson Republic. However, sheep are still herded in the traditional way, with a shepard in the mountains. The Zīrkęnian people are very fond of sheep. Sheep is the most common eaten meat in the RPZ. There are also many restaurants which serve the finest quality dishes with sheep. Other than that, sheep are also kept by people for a hobby, and you will also find sheep in the city parks of Komsomol and other cities.

The current Secretary of Agriculture & Fishing is dr. Kārl von Hźēęnün. Over the last decade a lot has changed. The new agricultural policy is focused on a good position of Zīrkęnian farmers and agricultural industries not only on the national market but also abroad. Other important points are management of the landscape and guaranteeing quality. The ministry also aims at improving the infrastructure in rural area's. Recently opened is the new Pīrīēbūrg - Blźt railway, exclusive for freight trains carrying agricultural products from the Mīrson Republic to the port city of Blźt. Another example is the new railway terminal in Komsomol, used for the transito of grain and sugar.
