Initially, the economy of the [[Sundanese people]] in West Java relied heavily on [[rice]] cultivation. Ancient kingdoms established in the province such as the [[Tarumanagara]] and [[Sunda Kingdom]] are known to have relied on rice taxes and agriculture revenues. The cycle of life of the ancient Sundanese people revolved around the rice crop cycle. Traditional rice harvest festivals such as the [[Seren Taun]] were important. The ancient goddess of rice, [[Dewi Sri|Nyai Pohaci Sanghyang Asri]], is revered in Sundanese culture. Traditionally, Sundanese people often used dry rice cultivation (''ladang''). After the [[Mataram Sultanate|Mataram]] expanded to the Priangan area in the early 17th century following the [[Sultan Agung]] campaign against Dutch Batavia, ''sawah'' (wet rice cultivation) began to be adopted in the northern lowlands of West Java. Regencies such as [[Indramayu]], [[Cirebon]], [[Subang Regency|Subang]], [[Karawang]] and [[Bekasi]] are now well known as vital rice-producing areas. The mountainous region of West Java supplies vegetables, flower and much horticultural produce to Jakarta and Bandung, while animal farms in West Java produce dairy products and meats.
