In addition, the region is also a major producer of vegatables, bananas, oranges, sunflowers, cotton, tobacco, and indigo, with much of what is grown exported to either the Alstinian Isles or other countries in southern Crona, such as [[Asteria]], [[Pankara]], [[Porlos]] and [[Tierrador]]. | ||
Aside from agriculture, the Betlands has a strong mining industry located predominantly in eastern [[Arsyra]] and northeast [[Equetus]], a significant fishing and shipbuilding industry in [[Ante Magnum]] and [[Beclia]], and a robust manufacturing and transportation sectors in both Equetus and [[Vertannia]]. Moreover, the service-oriented sectors are among the fastest growing in the region, with tourism, retail trade, insurance, banking and financial services spearheading much of the growth both in this sector, and the regional economy as a whole. | |||
