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. | |||
The apple varietals of Wintergen have been refined over the last 150 years to focus on apples that are desirable for cider and brandy, which, along with lumber, is Wintergen's primary export. | |||
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-militsron-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. | |||
