One of the main agricultural activities in this district is cotton growing[2][3][4] which was influenced by the presence of a cotton ginnery plant, which provided a lot of employment to the residents. As of 2017, the local people have also focused on growing maize as a source of food and income.[5] Most of the residents are subsistence farmers.[citation needed]
