Industries

* **Agriculture & Horticulture:** The backbone of the local economy, dominated by wet-rice cultivation, fruit orchards, and sericulture. * **Winery & Viticulture:** Champhai and nearby Hnahlan are the epicenter of Mizoram’s wine industry, famously producing "Zawlaidi" wine from locally grown grapes. * **Cross-Border Trade:** A thriving sector dealing in imports and exports with Myanmar, sustaining many local merchants and logistics providers. * **Tourism:** Slowly growing, driven by domestic tourists exploring Mizo heritage sites, natural caves, and the pleasant highland climate. * **Handloom & Handicrafts:** Traditional Mizo weaving, producing traditional garments like the *Puan*, which are sold locally and exported out of state.
