Arunachal Pradesh Economy
Arunachal Pradesh's gross state domestic product for 2004
is estimated at $706 million in current prices.
Agriculture is the primary driver of the economy. Jhum,
the local word for shifting cultivation, which was widely
practised among the tribal groups has come to be less
practiced. The forest-products are the next most
significant sector of the economy.
Among the crops grown here are rice, maize, millet, wheat,
pulses, sugarcane, ginger and oilseeds. Arunachal is also
ideal for horticulture and fruit orchards.
Its major industries are sawmills, plywood (these two
trades however have been stopped by law), rice mills,
fruit preservation units and handloom handicrafts. |
