Rodoka: Difference between revisions

 

==Economy==

The Rodokan economy traditionally centered on agriculture, primarily in farming and in seafood. Both are still prevalent in Rodoka today. Staple 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. However, 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. Significant commercial fishing and whaling activities still take place in Rodokan waters today.
