Economy
The Colonial Sugar Refining Company built a sugar mill at Viria,Lomaivuna where it crushed from 1886 to 1895. It was closed because it was too small to be viable and the land was taken over by white planters and graziers. Up till the 1960s the province was the centre of the banana export industry centred on Lomaivuna, Waidina and Wainimala. Today, dairy farming and market and export produce farming i.e. ginger and dalo drive its economy from areas such as Waibau,Waidruso,Lomaivuna,Vunidawa, Muaniweni,Baulevu and Waila.The Rewa Dairy Co Ltd has a Chilling Station at Naluwai.Indigenous timber logging has increased with the construction of feeder road networks since 2000.

Famous quotes containing the word economy:
“The basis of political economy is non-interference. The only safe rule is found in the self-adjusting meter of demand and supply. Do not legislate. Meddle, and you snap the sinews with your sumptuary laws.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“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)
“The aim of the laborer should be, not to get his living, to get “a good job,” but to perform well a certain work; and, even in a pecuniary sense, it would be economy for a town to pay its laborers so well that they would not feel that they were working for low ends, as for a livelihood merely, but for scientific, or even moral ends. Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
