In the past, the economy of the township relied on the production of mats, hats and hand-made woven products.[3] However, those industries have declined due to the abundance of equivalent industrial cheap goods.
Currently the main economic activity of the township is rice cultivation, where 3,000 hectares of the township land is made up of rice fields.[4]
