Much of Central Java is a fertile agricultural region. The primary food crop is wet rice. An elaborate irrigation network of canals, dams, aqueducts, and reservoirs has greatly contributed to Central Java's the rice-growing capacity over the centuries. In 2001, productivity of rice was 5,022 kilograms/ha, mostly provided from irrigated paddy field (± 98%). [[Klaten Regency]] had the highest productivity with 5525 kilograms/ha.<ref name="KBRI-BKK">[http://www.kbri-bangkok.com/about_indonesia/province_jawa_tengah/province_central_java_01.html]  {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070305210236/http://www.kbri-bangkok.com/about_indonesia/province_jawa_tengah/province_central_java_01.html|date=5 March 2007}}</ref>

Other crops, also mostly grown in lowland areas on small peasant landholdings, are corn (maize), cassava, peanuts (groundnuts), soybeans, and sweet potatoes. Terraced hillslopes and irrigated [[paddy field]]s are familiar features of the landscape. Kapok, sesame, vegetables, bananas, mangoes, durian fruits, citrus fruits, and vegetable oils are produced for local consumption. Tea, coffee, tobacco, rubber, sugarcane and kapok; and coconuts are exported. Several of these cash crops at a time are usually grown on large family estates. Livestock, especially water buffalo, is raised primarily for use as draft animals. Salted and dried fish are imported.<ref name="KBRI-BKK" /><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.britannica.com/ebc/article-3682 |title=Encyclopædia Britannica |publisher=Britannica.com |access-date=10 December 2013}}</ref>
