| The Economy |
| A
City in Abundance |
 oxas
City has basically an agri-based economy. Farming and
fishing are the major economic activities which claim
52.87% of the city’s total land area. Although
agricultural, the city is now moving towards commercialization
and industrialization as it is the center of trade and
commerce not only in the province of Capiz but also
in the northern part of Panay Island.
