A mild climate, favorable location relatively close to the great metropolitan complexes, and availability of fast transportation have made this area a center for truck-gardening and out-of-season vegetables.

Nagoya, which faces <a href="/wiki/Ise_Bay" title="Ise Bay">Ise Bay</a>, is a center for <a href="/wiki/Heavy_industry" title="Heavy industry">heavy industry</a>, including iron and steel and machinery manufacturing.
