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. | ||
