The fertile lands surrounding the city are ideal for the cultivation of these crops, and agriculture continues to be a major economic driver. In recent years, the local economy has diversified, with small manufacturing industries and services also playing a role in its development.
The city is known for producing high-quality oranges and other citrus fruits, which are exported both locally and internationally. In addition to this, Benifayó also has a thriving local craft scene, with artisans producing traditional ceramics and hand-crafted goods that reflect the cultural heritage of the region.
