The [[Toyosu Market]] in Tokyo is the largest wholesale fish and seafood market in the world since it opened on October 11, 2018.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://widerimage.reuters.com/story/as-historic-tsukiji-market-closes-fishmongers-mourn |access-date=October 4, 2018 |title=As Tokyo's historic Tsukiji market closes, fishmongers mourn |first=Issei|last=Kato|date=September 29, 2018|work=Reuters |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181003005402/https://widerimage.reuters.com/story/as-historic-tsukiji-market-closes-fishmongers-mourn |archive-date=October 3, 2018}}</ref> It is also one of the largest wholesale food markets of any kind. It is located in the [[Toyosu]] area of [[Kōtō]] ward. The Toyosu Market holds strong to the traditions of its predecessor, the [[Tsukiji Fish Market]] and [[Nihonbashi]] fish market, and serves some 50,000 buyers and sellers every day. Retailers, whole-sellers, auctioneers, and public citizens alike frequent the market, creating a unique microcosm of organized chaos that continues to fuel the city and its food supply after over four centuries.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Hannerz|first1=Ulf|title=The Fish Market at the Center of the World (Review)|journal=The Journal of Japanese Studies|date=2005|volume=31|issue=2|pages=428–431|doi=10.1353/jjs.2005.0044|s2cid=143762239}}</ref>
Tokyo had {{convert|8,460|ha|acre|abbr=off}} of agricultural land as of 2003,<ref>{{cite web |author=((Horticulture Statistics Team, Production Statistics Division, Statistics and Information Department, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries)) |date=July 15, 2003 |title=Statistics on Cultivated Land Area |url=http://www.maff.go.jp/esokuhou/sei200305.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080624195936/http://www.maff.go.jp/esokuhou/sei200305.pdf |archive-date=June 24, 2008 |access-date=October 18, 2008}}</ref> according to the [[Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (Japan)|Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries]], placing it last among the nation's prefectures. The farmland is concentrated in Western Tokyo. Perishables such as vegetables, fruits, and flowers can be conveniently shipped to the markets in the eastern part of the prefecture.

With 36% of its area covered by forest, Tokyo has extensive growths of [[cryptomeria]] and [[Chamaecyparis obtusa|Japanese cypress]], especially in the mountainous western communities of Akiruno, Ōme, Okutama, Hachiōji, Hinode, and Hinohara. Decreases in the price of timber increases in the cost of production, and advancing old age among the forestry population have resulted in a decline in Tokyo's output. In addition, pollen, especially from cryptomeria, is a major [[Seasonal allergies|allergen]] for the nearby population centers. Tokyo Bay was once a major source of fish. Most of Tokyo's fish production comes from the outer islands, such as Izu Ōshima and Hachijō-Jima. [[Skipjack tuna]], [[nori]], and ''[[Carangidae|aji]]'' are among the ocean products.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tokyo Economy - Tokyo Travel Guide |url=http://www.tokyo-travelguide.com/tokyo-economy.html |access-date=April 23, 2022 |website=www.tokyo-travelguide.com |archive-date=August 12, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220812205640/http://www.tokyo-travelguide.com/tokyo-economy.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
