Economy
The major agricultural products of Tayabas are rice and coconut. It is also known for Sweet delicacies and lambanog. However, the city is growing at a very slow rate, slower even than its population growth. Based on data published by the city, it has an annual economic growth rate of 1.38%. This is largely due to the ineptness and lack of initiative on the part of its present crop of political leaders.

Famous quotes containing the word economy:
“Wise men read very sharply all your private history in your look and gait and behavior. The whole economy of nature is bent on expression. The tell-tale body is all tongues. Men are like Geneva watches with crystal faces which expose the whole movement.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“War. Fighting. Men ... every man in the whole realm is in the army.... Every man in uniform ... An economy entirely geared to war ... but there is not much war ... hardly any fighting ... yet every man a soldier from birth till death ... Men ... all men for fighting ... but no war, no wars to fight ... what is it, what does it mean?””
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
