Answer:
The Prairie Provinces are an important economic sector of Canada because they are the most important agricultural area of the country.
Explanation:
The Prairie Provinces are a vast region of Canadian prairies that extends throughout the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The region is characterized by having a sedimentary soil and by its slightly uneven relief. It can be considered part of the Great Plains of North America. It is the most important Canadian agricultural area, despite only allowing a relatively short crop season, due to the duration of the harsh winter.
The three prairie provinces have a combined area of 1,960,681 km² (19.65% of Canada's area). Their joint population is about 5,630,000 inhabitants (in mid-2009) equivalent to 17.25% of the national total.
