The main occupations are agriculture and in particular olive growing, the cultivation of pistachio trees, cotton and cereals, as well as animal husbandry. Mostly oil is produced.

To the north of the village extends the mountain range Ypsoma or Mikri Katsika with rich limestone rocks, a fact that pushed the development of quarrying in the area and its characterization as a quarry zone.
