The agriculture includes crop cultivation and livestock farming. The main crops produced are cereal (maize, millet and sorghum), oilseed (sesame, groundnut and cowpea) and cotton crops. The livestock includes goats, sheep, cattle and poultry. The local communities also have fruit trees (mango, orange, lemon, papaya, guava and banana) and use leaves, bark and wood of trees, such as shea and African locust bean trees.
