There are some greenhouses that were established in the 1970s and '80s where some food for sustenance is grown to ensure that there is a balance of vegetable fiber and nutrients in the diets of those in Nauta Normand, however these are very expensive to operate and the food grown in these hydroponic greenhouses is typically more expensive than that imported from [[Kiravia]]. As such, This food is heavily subsidized by the government to try to enforce its competitive competitiveness in the grocery market and large swabs of land in the southern islands have been dedicated to this process. These greenhouses were nationalized in the late 1990s because the private owners and co-ops who had initially started them could not afford to maintain them. Since the 2020s additional technology has been engaged, specifically the use of AI, to ensure that these greenhouses are as efficient as possible This is allowed the price to come down marginally, but it is still a cost center for the government. | There are some greenhouses that were established in the 1970s and '80s where some food for sustenance is grown to ensure that there is a balance of vegetable fiber and nutrients in the diets of those in Nauta Normand, however these are very expensive to operate and the food grown in these hydroponic greenhouses is typically more expensive than that imported from [[Kiravia]].

The crops grown in these greenhouses are chosen for their nutrient density specifically plants like potatoes, lettuce, spinach, kale, broccoli, as well as cauliflower, and certain types of legumes. Potatoes in particular were abandoned after nationalization in the early 2000s because of a glut of potatoes imported by [[Canespa]] and [[Kiravia]] was able to make them not cost efficient and allow the people of now to Normand to have easy plentiful and cheap access to that plant. | The crops grown in these greenhouses are chosen for their nutrient density specifically plants like potatoes, lettuce, spinach, kale, broccoli, as well as cauliflower, and certain types of legumes.

Mineral extraction used to be a primary focus for the island of now to Normand however the singular iron mine in the area became non-profitable in the 1980s and has since been closed. There are minor oil and gas deposits within the economic exclusion zone of the islands which were heavily exploited from the 1960s until the early 2000s. They have since dried up and while there is a small economic sector around oil and gas extraction, this has been reduced down to only two rigs in the current day. All of the output of these two rigs goes directly to the thermal power plant on the island but additional fuel is imported to meet the demands of power. | Mineral extraction used to be a primary focus for the island of now to Normand however the singular iron mine in the area became non-profitable in the 1980s and has since been closed.

Historically the islands were a major center in the ice trade. Well ice itself is no longer a major export due to advances in refrigeration in the second half of the 20th century, there is still a large artisanal ice export business that remains. This artisanal ice business was primarily refounded by the [[Granquai Restaurant Chain]]. Since then it has expanded to other restaurant chains high-end and cosmopolitan bars, lounges, and saloons. | |||

The furs captured in seal and walrus hunting are turned into high end seal skin and while riskin products particularly {{wp|Muluks}} which are a type of extremely warm boot and other {{wp|Sealskin}} forms of outerwear. Well these are still traditionally worn by the residents of the island it has fallen out of fashion in favor of other lighter weight and warmer materials and garments. It has instead switched its focus on tourist sales and in that regard has increased its output two to three times. | |||
