olives, grapes, wheat and barley

Detailed explanation-1: -There corn (maize), wheat, barley, sugar beets, peaches, tomatoes, cotton (of which Greece is the only EU producer), and tobacco are grown. Other crops grown in considerable quantities are olives (for olive oil), grapes, melons, potatoes, and oranges, all of which are exported to other EU countries.
Detailed explanation-2: -Grapes, figs, and olives thrive in less fertile soils, and they can better withstand the extreme conditions of dryness and drought, which explains their importance in Greek agriculture. The practice has saved precious space and made efficient use of poor soils.
Detailed explanation-3: -Greece’s olives-many of which are turned into olive oil-are the country’s most renowned export crop. Grapes, melons, tomatoes, peaches, and oranges are also popular EU exports.
