Editing Languedoc (section)

===Agriculture===
Languedoc is a significant producer of wine. Today it produces more than a third of the [[grape]]s in France, and is a focus for outside investors. Wines from the Mediterranean coast of Languedoc are labeled as Languedoc, those from the interior have other labels such as [[Fronton, Haute-Garonne|Fronton]], [[Gaillac AOC|Gaillac]], or [[Limoux AOC|Limoux]] to the west – and [[Côtes du Rhône]] towards the east.

Other crops include [[wheat]] (the traditional crop which made the fortune of the landlords and parliamentarians based in [[Toulouse]], and for whose trade the famous [[Canal du Midi]] was built), [[maize]] (the new and nowadays most common crop in the region), [[olive]]s (only on the Mediterranean coast of Languedoc), fruit, and rice (in some coastal areas). In the hilly and mountainous areas of the interior, sheep and goats are raised for meat and cheese. The coastal area is, naturally, a source of fish and shellfish.
