Livelihood & Resources

The town is primarily agricultural with rice, sugarcane and corn as primary crops. Monggo beans, peanuts and vegetables are also grown in limited areas of the land. Laua-an has the most number of sugarcane mills in the whole province of Antique. The town has the potential for large scale production of muscovado for local consumption and for export in other provinces and outside the country. Some sugarcane mills in the town also has some refined way of milling muscovado sugar through technology transfer from foreign aid such that residue-free muscovado sugar is now produced that can reach markets in Manila, Boracay, Cebu and other areas in the Visayas, Luzon and even Mindanao.
