The island's economy revolves around fishing, shipping and manufacturing and industrial operations in addition to the dockyards operated by the Corummese Navy. Due to the limited availabily of land, there is only small scale horticulture in the form of hydroponics of cash crops such as tomato, squash and strawberries. Most of the food is imported from Kiravian [[Porfíria]] or from [[Xisheng]] via ship. Cao's fishing fleet is one of the largest in the region and fans far out through the Nysdra Sea and the Northern approaches during the fishing seasons in search of bluefin tuna, Nysdra mackerel and the infamous green crab which is a staple of regional dishes. The delimitation of the [[New Harren]] and Cao exclusive economic zones has been a topic of negotiation between [[Urcea]] and [[Corumm]] due to disputes over fishing rights. | The island's economy revolves around fishing, shipping and manufacturing and industrial operations in addition to the dockyards operated by the Corummese Navy.

Kiravian powdered milk manufacturer Banya Sēora SAK owns a large plant on the island that employs two thousand people, where it manufactures one of its flagship products, ''Moloko'' powdered milk. The employee housing built around the plant and the local facilities created to service their needs was granted municipality status in 2005 with the name of [[Moloka]]. Moloko powdered milk is a very sought after local commodity as cow milk is a rarity in northern [[Crona]] and transportation of fresh milk is expensive due to the need for refrigeration. | The island is an important logistics and refueling center in the region thanks to its privileged location. The port of Uxma-2 operates fifteen bunker barges for the purpose of providing ships in transit with fuel or diesel oil. In 1994 the cargo ship ''BassPro 5000'' exploded outside the port when it crashed against a bunker barge filled with fuel, with all personnel aboard lost. | ||
