Agriculture and Fishing

Panay produces coconut, banana, fruits, muscovado, veggies, and root crops. It is also the second largest rice producing region in the Philippines. The total land that they have to cultivate comes to roughly 4, 566.88 km2. The rest of the island is covered in grass, wood, and wetlands and also mountains.

Fishing is huge in Panay! With all of the water in and around the island it doesn't come as a surprise when you find out that there is such a diverse selection of fish species, coral reefs, areas of mangroves, 881 rivers, 27 lakes, and 42 lagoons. Nicer still is that fact that a government program restores their damaged coral reefs bringing back more fish and aquatic species. By doing that it also restores some of the water's health.
