Agriculture in Serchhip is a mix of traditional shifting cultivation (jhum) and settled farming. The Mat Valley, often referred to as the "rice bowl" of Serchhip, is crucial for regional paddy cultivation.
The district is highly renowned throughout Mizoram for its cabbage production, much of which is exported to Aizawl and other parts of the state. Other significant agricultural products include mustard, ginger, turmeric, squash, and various citrus fruits. Livestock rearing—particularly pigs and poultry—is a common household economic activity, and small-scale fisheries operate along the Tuikum and Mat rivers to supplement the local food supply.
