North Brabant (Dutch: Noord-Brabant) is a province of the Netherlands, located in the south of the country, bordered by Belgium in the south, the Meuse River (Maas) in the north, Limburg in the east and Zeeland in the west.
As most of the Netherlands, North Brabant is mostly flat. While most of the population lives in urban areas, much of the province is uninhabited, though most of the land is cultivated. However, forests, heathlands and dune areas can still be found as well.
The province is bordered by the Meuse River in the north. Its delta flows through the Biesbosch area, a national park.
Employment is found in the agricultural, industrial and service sectors. Main agricultural products are wheat and sugar beets, while cows and pigs are held as cattle. The chief industries produce cars, electronics (both mainly in Eindhoven), textile and shoes.
