Economy

The most fertile and advanced crop field "Salom Loukon" is located in Yairipok. This agricultural land is known throughout the state for its unique quality. Every year, where most parts of the state face drought or flood, this paddy field stays productive. This is because of the irrigation canal from the Thoubal multipurpose project in the Thoubal river. Fish farms and vegetables are the main outputs. Poirou pat loukon also produces food crops.[citation needed]
