According to available statistics, about 82.9 percent of households in the district are engaged in various forms of agricultural activities, while the sector employs approximately 71.1 percent of the employable population.

The district’s fertile soils and favorable vegetation continue to support the cultivation of both cash and food crops. Key crops cultivated in the area include cocoa, oil palm, plantain, cassava, maize, horticultural crops, and citrus.

Agricultural production within the district has continued to contribute significantly to household income generation and local economic development, particularly in rural communities where farming remains the primary occupation.

Aside from crop cultivation, livestock farming is also gaining prominence among residents. A considerable number of households are involved in poultry production as well as the rearing of goats, sheep, and cattle.

Emerging livestock ventures such as rabbit rearing, grasscutter farming, piggery, and snail farming are also gradually becoming popular in the district, providing alternative livelihood opportunities and supporting efforts aimed at reducing unemployment and poverty.

The growth of the agricultural sector continues to play a critical role in poverty alleviation in the district as many families depend on farming activities for their sustenance and economic survival.

The District Assembly remains committed to supporting agricultural development through policies and interventions that will enhance productivity, improve food security, and create sustainable employment opportunities for residents.
