Alberique: Economy and Key Industries

Alberique’s economy has traditionally been based on agriculture, with a strong emphasis on the cultivation of fruits such as oranges, lemons, and olives. The fertile lands surrounding the city make it one of the key agricultural hubs in the Ribera Alta comarca. In recent years, the city’s agricultural sector has diversified, with an increasing focus on organic farming and local products that appeal to both national and international markets.

Tourism is also an emerging sector in Alberique, driven by its historical significance, cultural attractions, and its close proximity to larger cities like Valencia. Local crafts and artisanal products, such as traditional ceramics and food items like “Mona de Pascua” bread, contribute to the economy and provide visitors with unique souvenirs.

Additionally, Alberique benefits from its strategic location near major transportation routes, which helps support local businesses involved in logistics and trade.
