In terms of agricultural land, Fujian is hilly and farmland is sparse. [[Rice]] is the main crop, supplemented by [[sweet potato]]es and [[wheat]] and [[barley]].<ref>ukien. (2008). In Encyclopædia Britannica. Retrieved December 20, 2008, from Encyclopædia Britannica Online: https://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/221639/Fujian {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090221122424/https://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/221639/Fujian |date=February 21, 2009 }}</ref> Cash crops include [[sugar cane]] and [[rapeseed]]. Fujian leads the provinces of China in [[longan]] production, and is also a major producer of [[lychee]]s and [[tea]]. Seafood is another important product, with [[shellfish]] production especially prominent.

Because of its geographic location with Taiwan, Fujian has been considered the battlefield frontline in a potential war between mainland China and Taiwan. Hence, it received much less investment from the Chinese central government and developed much slower than the rest of China before 1978. Since 1978, when China opened to the world, Fujian has received significant investment from overseas Fujianese around the world, Taiwanese and foreign investment.

[[Minnan Golden Triangle]], which includes [[Xiamen]], [[Quanzhou]], and [[Zhangzhou]], accounts for 40 percent of the GDP of Fujian province.

Fujian province will be the major economic beneficiary of the opening up of [[Three Links|direct transport]] with Taiwan, which commenced on December 15, 2008. This includes direct flights from Taiwan to major Fujian cities such as Xiamen and Fuzhou. In addition, ports in Xiamen, Quanzhou, and Fuzhou will upgrade their port infrastructure for increased economic trade with Taiwan.<ref name="economist.com">{{cite news | url=http://www.economist.com/world/asia/displaystory.cfm?story_id=12818200 | newspaper=The Economist | title=Ever cuddlier | date=December 18, 2008 | access-date=December 20, 2008 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090113062544/http://www.economist.com/world/asia/displaystory.cfm?story_id=12818200 | archive-date=January 13, 2009 | url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aFZOzHvMdnjY&refer=home | archive-url=https://archive.today/20120720122914/http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aFZOzHvMdnjY&refer=home | url-status=dead | archive-date=July 20, 2012 | work=Bloomberg | title=China Pledges Loans to Taiwan Firms to Boost Ties (Update2) | date=December 21, 2008 | access-date=March 7, 2017 }}</ref>
