Economic Profile and Agricultural Potential.

Moiben Constituency’s economy is largely agricultural with large scale maize and wheat production being the backbone of the economy. The region is known for its high agricultural potential but some families experience seasonal food shortage despite the fertile land.

Beyond staple crops residents engage in small-scale farming of sunflower, finger millet, beans, tomatoes, passion fruit and various vegetables. The constituency also supports livestock keeping with many households involved in dairy production, goat rearing and sheep farming that supply both household consumption and market.

Research has identified challenges to sustainable food security in the region including socioeconomic factors such as low literacy levels, irregular income due to dependence on farming, environmental changes due to poor land use practices and certain cultural structures that affect resource allocation. These challenges coexist with opportunities for agricultural technology adoption that can improve food security outcomes.
