{{Further|Economy of Burgundie}}
Wintergen's primary sectors are as a customs and logistical hub between the [[Kiravia]]n trade markets and [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] markets, fishing, logging, and apple cultivation. There are some minor oil reserves within the EEZ of Wintergen which are being tapped but the offshore drilling sector is comparatively small.

Wintergen is a strategic military hub and the bases are a major economic engine driving $438 million/year of ancillary, non-military financial activity.

Logging is the largest sector by land mass and employment on the island. 2/3rds of the island are covered in logging plantations that are operated by three companies: [[Irvine Timber Products]], Roumeline Ltd., and Ouintergene Products. The primary species grown are softwoods, namely balsam fir and black spruce. The hardwood found in the region is mainly white birch.

Commercial fishing, particularly {{wp|lobster}}ing and trawling (cod, haddock, halibut, herring and mackerel). While lobster is the main seafood focus for Wintergen, the harvest of both oysters, seaweed, shrimp are on the rise. The main fishing fleets are based in Santmai since the shipping traffic makes fishing out of Hivernille less favorable. Contaminant and noise pollution has made fishing near Hivernille impossible and trying to navigate around the constant flow of ships more of a hassle than it is worth.
 
The two largest fleets are owned by the Havremaitre family and the Reauchfavle family, both operating out of Santmai.
