Cabbages and chrysanthemums are some of the most important agricultural products that
Aichi produces. We should particularly note the development of the greenhouse
horticulture, with most vegetables and flowers being grown in glass or plastic
greenhouses.
Aichi's fishing industry, thanks to its bountiful ocean, rivers, and aquaculture resources,
has made the prefecture one of Japan's most important fishing regions, which includes
short-necked clams (of which Aichi is Japan's foremost producer) to Kuruma prawns (the
prefectural fish), eels, Sweetfish(Ayu), and goldfish.
As the flower industry particularly stands out, with Aichi being given the title of the
"Kingdom of Flowers" for leading the country in floriculture since 1962. It boasts Japan's
largest output of several floral products, including chrysanthemums, roses, and tropical
orchids.
