Greece has traditionally been an agricultural nation, but services have grown significantly, accounting for about 80 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP). Agriculture now employs around 12 percent of the labor force, producing wine, wheat, corn, wool, cotton, olives, raisins, and tobacco. The industrial sector has made important advances. Food, tobacco, textiles, chemicals, metal products, and petroleum comprise some of the country's major industries. In addition to manufactured goods, exports include food and raw materials. Greece has a strong trade partnership with other EU members and is developing ties with eastern European and Black Sea countries. Tourism is key to the economy, accounting for nearly a sixth of overall GDP.
