Sarolasta's equatorial climate, plentiful rainfall, and year-round growing season provide excellent conditions for tropical agriculture, almost all of which is concentrated on Grand Sarolasta and Songva-Ngatra. Storm damage to crops and agrarian infrastructure (especially drainage systems and mechanised equipment) is the primary risk factor for farming in the provinces, followed by pests and disease.

Storm damage to crops and agrarian infrastructure (especially drainage systems and mechanised equipment) is the primary risk factor for farming in the provinces, followed by pests and disease. Around one-quarter of the workforce is employed directly in agriculture, which underpins local economies clean across the archipelago. Maintaining stable agricultural incomes is a high policy priority for provincial and fedderal authorities, who consider rural conditions important to maintaining social cohesion and stability on the islands.


Much of Sarolasta's agricultural productivity is concentrated on large monoculture estates dedicated to {{wp|cash crops}} such as pineapple, cane, nanners, oil palm, and coconut. These were traditionally owned by very wealthy ''Farakoskem'' settler families, but most are now either owned by or sell directly to {{wp|agribusiness}} corporations, such as Bay Orchards SAK (part of the [[Bay Trading Company|BayTrade Group]]) and the [[Kerēgulan Merchants of the Tropics|KMT Group]].
