description Vojvodina Plain Overview

The Vojvodina Plain is the Serbian portion of the Pannonian Basin, occupying much of the autonomous province of Vojvodina in the country's north. The Danube, Tisza, and Sava rivers cross or border this lowland, whose fertile soils support intensive production of maize, wheat, sunflower, sugar beet, and other crops. Predominantly level terrain, river deposits, and isolated uplands such as Fruška Gora distinguish its geography and make it central to Serbia's agriculture and transport networks.
