Agriculture

Agriculture forms the backbone of the broader Churachandpur district's economy, heavily influencing the town's markets. Farmers practice a mix of traditional shifting cultivation (*Jhum*) on the hillsides and terrace farming in the valleys. Major crops include paddy (rice), maize, and lucrative cash crops such as pineapple, ginger, turmeric, and chili. The region is particularly well-known for its high-quality pineapples. Livestock rearing, especially pigs and poultry, is a common and culturally significant practice for both household consumption and market sale.
