The forestry industry is important, with timber production and processing being key economic activities. As natural forests in the region are comparatively small and have greatly diminished since the dawn of the industrial era, all industrial forestry is plantation-based. Sustainable forestry practices are emphasised, with most plantation projects tied to participation in afforestation initiatives through regulation and state incentives. Essentially all forest products from Enscirya are classified as softwood timber. Pine fibres were once a lucrative product, but are no longer so, due to the decline of the [[pine flannel industry in Kiravia]]. | The forestry industry is important, with timber production and processing being key economic activities.

Enscirya is renowned for its rich history in the production of whiskey, an whiskeys of Ensciryan origin have achieved global acclaim. Numerous distilleries dot the landscape, producing a diverse range of spirits, each with their own unique characteristics and flavours rooted in the state's complex, altitudinally and hydrographically variegated ''terroir''. The whisky industry in Enscirya not only generates substantial revenue, but also attracts tourism, with whiskey enthusiasts willing to travel enormous distances, even from abroad, to visit distilleries where they can witness the craftsmanship and tradition behind their preferred spirit. Beyond whiskey, Enscirya has seen a rise in craft brewing since the 2010s AD, with microbreweries producing a variety of beers that reflect both regionally-traditional and innovative approaches to brewing. For example, Enscirya is the leading producer of heather ales in the Federacy. The economic impact of the alcohol industry extends beyond the direct production of alcoholic beverages, supporting the developing local economy by generating employment opportunities - ranging from those for skilled distillers and brewers to support staff involved in distribution and marketing. Additionally, the micro- and craft brewing segment of the industry features a notable emphasis on local sourcing, with many breweries and distilleries collaborating with regional farmers and suppliers for raw materials, energising the rural economy with increased demand for the produce of small farms. | ||
Small-scale manufacturing enterprises, such as those producing local crafts and specialty foods, contribute to the economic diversity of the state, though these are heavily dependent on tourism for sales and have limited export value. | |||
