Tea and sugar are the two primary agricultural products and exports of Tapakdore. Between the two of them, they employ almost 30% of the labor force and make up significant portions of the country's commodity market. | |||
The north coast and Lalgaria province have a tropical wet climate. Here, the prevailing easterly tradewinds sweep moisture from the [[Aab-e-Farus]], making the growing seaon yearround with abundant rainfall. The cultivation of {{wp|basmati rice}} is prevalent and it is a staple food across Tapakdore. Paddy fields dominate the landscape, with massive, publicly owned irrigation systems ensure a consistent water supply for this high-moisture crop, from which farmers draw their water and pay the municipality by the kiloliter. Beyond rice, massive plantations, remnants of the latifundia of the [[Burgoignesc colonial empire]], flourish with banana, coconut, pineapple, mangoes and sugar cane. Corporate rubber plantations are also common. In the interior, sorghum and millet grains are the staple of local diets with limited export marketability. Cotton is the primary cashcrop for export. Its largescale cultivation dates back to the [[Burgoignesc colonial empire]], particularly the [[Pashabiwar colony]]. Root vegetables like cassava and sweet potatoes are also cultivated for local consumption in the interior. | The north coast and Lalgaria province have a tropical wet climate.
