The economy of Duvva is largely based on agriculture & small manufacturing. Most of the surrounding area is fertile farm land. The main crops grown in Duvva are rice and bananas. This is due to the composition of the soil, which is too moist to grow plants such as potatoes, and topography, which prohibits the growing of vegetables such as Eggplants or Tomatoes.
