The Rodokan economy traditionally centered on agriculture, primarily in farming and in seafood. Both are still prevalent in Rodoka today. MajorStaple 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. AdditionallyHowever, by far the leading agricultural produce—and export—of Rodoka is citrus fruits. There are several species of citrus native to the island, and over the course of centuries, the Native Rodokans hybridized dozens of different varieties. Significant portions of the island, especially Reserve exclaves on the southern branch of the island, are dedicated to citrus orchards. Popular exports include oranges, tangerines, lemons, and limes—including the variety known as the "[[Wikipedia:Key lime|Rodoka lime]]," a smaller, more acidic variety with a characteristic taste often found in pies. Rodoka exports more limes per capita than anywhere else on Urth.{{Citation needed}} Other agricultural activity in tribal areas, includes 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 Tavaris. Tourism is also a major part of the Rodokan economy, especially during the dry season that is approximately half the year. Prior to 2020, there was also some oil drilling in Rodokan waters. However, oil extraction is politically unpopular, and the Petroleum Extraction Ban Act of 1954 has banned oil drilling in Tavaris proper. While Extraterritorial Civil Jurisdictions were exempt from the law, as a province, the law has now taken effect in Rodoka and requires all petroleum extraction be shut down. Oil refineries in Rodoka will remain open, and waters off the reservation are eligible for oil wells if the Tribal Administration approves it.
