Line 113:
The Rodokan economy traditionally centered on agriculture, primarily in farming and in seafood. Both are still prevalent in Rodoka today. Major crops grown on Rodoka include grains such as sorghum, millet, and barley; legumes such as beans, chickpeas and cowpeas; and tubers such as yams and cassava. Tobacco was historically grown on Rodoka, but with very little Acronian demand for the product, the Rodokan tobacco industry largely ceased by the turn of the 21st century. Beer has a long history on Rodoka and the beer industry is among the larger industries on the island, especially in tribal areas where its consumption was legal for significantly longer. Additionally in tribal areas, cattle ranching and meat production are common. Significant commercial fishing and whaling activities still take place in Rodokan waters today.
There is some manufacturing and mining on Rodoka, although both of these sectors are smaller than elsewhere in Acronis. Tourism is also a major part of the Rodokan economy,
Two industries strictly differ between tribal areas and non-tribal areas: gambling and the sale of alcohol. Gambling is illegal everywhere in Acronis except in tribal areas and the sale of wine and spirits outside of bars has been illegal in Rodoka since 1936. Prior to 1936, the sale of all alcohol was illegal in Rodoka, according to an Edict issued by High Priestess Ilara Nevran Lendreaž in 1632. There are several casinos in the reservation, especially in the tribal capital of Sinajärv, the largest city in northern Rodoka. In addition to wine, beer and distilled liquors such as vodka are also made in the tribal areas.
