The economy of Algemesí has long been anchored in agriculture, particularly the cultivation of oranges, rice, and other Mediterranean crops. The fertile soil of the area, combined with an irrigation system that dates back to Moorish times, makes this region ideal for farming. Visitors will find no shortage of fresh, local produce at the city’s markets.
In recent years, tourism has also become an essential part of the local economy. The city’s cultural festivals and historic charm draw visitors from all over Spain and beyond, contributing to the growth of local businesses such as hotels, restaurants, and shops.
Algemesí is also home to a variety of small and medium-sized enterprises, many of which are involved in manufacturing and services. The city’s proximity to Valencia provides further economic benefits, allowing easy access to a broader network of industries and markets.
