The Shire's main industry is agriculture. It is one of the state’s largest grain producing areas and also boasts strong sheep, wool and beef industries.
A small but very successful light-manufacturing sector has emerged in Condobolin and Lake Cargelligo and Council has established industrial estates to promote further growth.
