In the 1990s, logging companies began exploiting timber in the area.[4] The area is a producer of cabbage[5] and sweet cassava. In December 2018, construction began of a $26 million cassava flour processing factory in the village. The Ministry of Social Protection's Co-operative Society Department overlooked the establishment of the Kwebanna Farmers’ Co-operative in the village.[6]
