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.
