Rukwa is an agrarian society where agriculture accounts for around 80% of people’s daily income. Maize, paddy, beans, wheat, millet, and cassava are among of the crops that are grown. Sunflower, groundnuts, sesame, barley, and other vegetables are among the others.

Although agriculture is not yet fully mechanized, the trend indicates that there is an excess of certain crops, notably maize, paddy, cassava, sunflower, and sesame. Smallholder farmers who work between 0.5 and 2.0 ha account for 68 percent of the farmed area in the Rukwa region and are the main form of agriculture.
