Housing Real estate development has grown in the area with rapid expansion going on in Igboh-Agwuruasa, Ulakwo-Umuselem, and Okehi Clans.
Farming Cassava, plantain, banana and yam are important crops. Agricultural plantation (notably Rubber, palm oil, pineapple, and plantain) was encouraged by the then Eastern Regional government of Nigeria, but this has since lost steam.
Agriculture is mostly not mechanized and the use of tractors for farming these crops has dropped slightly in the 1986–2004 period.
Cassava processing mill Shell Petroleum Development Company, a major oil operator in the area since the late 1950s, has funded a largely ineffective and inefficient cassava processing mill at Umuebulu, and in 2000 it attempted abysmally to provide training to local women in operation and management of the mill.
Palm oil Palm oil production by smallholders is a significant part of the economy.
Demand social amenities and compensation for oil pollution In October 1990, a demonstration was held in Umuechem, Etche to demand social amenities and compensation for oil pollution.
State security agents reacted with tear gas and gunfire. 50 people died and about 550 houses were destroyed.
Training camp for ex-militants A training camp for ex-militants was established in Okehi in Etche LGA, teaching skills such as welding and fabrication, fitting, seafaring/marine, business and commerce and so on. In October 2009, 200 of the students demanded their allowances, threatening to return to the creeks to cause havoc if unpaid.
