Since 25 percent of the working area of ​​this market committee is covered by forests, the agricultural land is only 75 percent, and even in this area, since there is irrigation facility in this area, farmers in this area grow cash crops. There is a large influx of rice and cotton in this area. Since the committee does not have traders, it is purchased through the village system. The market committee has complete control over it.
