Agriculture is the key economic sector in the District. It employs over 70% of the total labour force in the district. The agricultural sector constitutes the major economic activity of the people in the district. The ecology of the district encourages the cultivation of crops such as cassava, maize, sugar cane, pineapple, rice, pawpaw, vegetable, citrus, yam and plantain.
