Agriculture, especially fruit and vegetable production, is the economic mainstay of the province, bolstered in particular by the widespread presence of cooperatives. Poultry farming also plays an important role. Industrial activities such as fruit and vegetable processing, food canning and animal slaughtering and meat processing are linked to this primary sector. The footwear and furniture sectors also figure prominently.
