The mild climate of Halkidiki and the high levels of sunlight, combined with the ground morphology, form a suitable environment for the production of a number of products.
Cultivable land covers 1/3 of Halkidiki, and according to the data of the 1997 inventory the cultivated and fallow land amounts to 956.5 million square meters, that is 32.8% of the total area of the region. The agricultural character of Halkidiki determines and justifies the relatively large number of processing units for agricultural products. From the total number of units, 84 (which is 85.7%) deal with agricultural products and 11 units (a percentage of 11%) deal with stock breeding products.
Most of the products are put into the market directly by the producers themselves in the form they are gathered from nature, while others are subjected to a stage of simple processing and a few others undergo some further processing (distillery). As far as the stock breeding products are concerned, the largest part of the production consists of products taken directly from animals without requiring the use of special equipment.
