Meridona's agricultural industry relies mostly on vishil and hemp, but also includes sizable yields in corn and sugarcane harvests. Hydroponic farming has become increasingly popular throughout the island as arable soil becomes more limited. The Vishil Belt region accounts for over 90% of Meridona's crop harvest, which is then sent to the town of Archdyer to be stored or distributed. To promote self-sustainability, the Meridonan government has enforced exorbitant levies on agricultural exports, resulting in the majority of crops being processed, manufactured, and consumed on the island.
Vishil
Vishil is grain native to the island of Meridona. It is a remarkably versatile crop, with uses ranging from a wide variety of foods to a unique fuel known as Vishinol. The grain is best described as a rice-wheat hybrid.
When the grain was originally discovered, it grew only steep valleys and difficult terrain. Scientists of the Royal Navy carefully researched the crop during their brief time on the island, but the study was prematurely brought to end when they abandoned the island in 1736. Throughout the island's settlement by Thelonius Alasdair, however, the economy relied heavily on vishil, with hundreds of acres devoted to vishil farms. In 1902, Imperial College London requested the research conducted by the Royal Navy, only to discover that it was mysteriously missing. It is widely believed that Alasdair's scientific team stole the research prior to their arrival in Meridona, which allowed them to successfully modify the vishil seed to adapt in a variety of environments.
