Het gebied "Zundert" is in agrarisch opzicht een uniek en dynamisch gebied. Vele bedrijfstypen komen naast elkaar voor. Hierbij neemt de boomteelt een centrale plaats in. De laatste jaren heeft deze bedrijfstak, mede door de goede bedrijfsresultaten, zich sterk uitgebreid: bijna een verdubbeling van het areaal en de produktie in vijf jaar tijds. Het totaal aantal bedrijven in Zundert liep de laatste jaren maar weinig terug. Ook het aantal arbeidskrachten is nauwelijks afgenomen. De land- en tuinbouw is een belangrijke bron van werkgelegenheid en zal dit in de toekomst zeker blijven.

150 years ago in Russia bodies of local self-government named zemstvoes were formed. The special feature of the Russian zemstvo consisted in dual, dissimilar coexistence and comparison of crown (governmental) and zemstvo (public) bases, as some kind of unity and struggle of opposites, with in advance expected positive result for local governments owing to their greater identity to interests of the managing population.
