It has substantial agricultural resources, a large industrial base, and a highly skilled work force. A dynamic services sector accounts for an increasingly large share of economic activity and is responsible for nearly all job creation in recent years.

France has historically been an important producer of agricultural products; it has been considered the world's second-largest agricultural producer, after the United States. Wheat, poultry, dairy, beef, and pork, as well as an internationally recognized foodstuff and wine industry are primary French agriculturalexports. EU agriculture subsidies to France have decreased for the last years, but still amounted to $8 billion in 2009. Agriculture is thus an important sector of France's economy: 3.5% of the active population is employed in agriculture.
