Key factors include a significant youth population needing employment, challenges in road infrastructure, and high dependence on subsistence farming.
Agricultural Economy:
Agriculture is the primary economic activity, employing over 70% of the active labor force in both areas. Key crops include cashew, yam, maize, cassava, pepper, groundnut, and tomatoes.
