Industries: The people’s main sources of livelihood range from land and sea agricultural cultivation to home industries which have lately taken a turn toward the export-oriented light to heavy industries, with the planning and construction of economic zones. The major economic activity and source of income for the people of Sariaya is agriculture. It is a palay and coconut producing region of the province, a cottage industry center and at present a growing tourist spot. Agricultural activities include rice farming, kopra making, banana coffee vegetables and root crop planting. The coconut industry is the number peso earner in Sariaya, however existing price trend and instability of the product had caused the majority of the populace to suffer from economic dislocation and imbalance. This fact compels the people to divert to other means of livelihood such as agro-livestock, cottage industry and fishing, which are, at present, boosting the town’s economy substituting the declining copra industry.
