The Gore District’s economic well-being is linked to the economic performance of the primary agricultural sector.

This sector is now performing well and commodity prices are currently strong and this is benefitting the wider community.
 

Intensive pastoral farming is likely to remain the dominant form of business activity in the district. Dairying and forestry will have an increasing impact on the rural landscape as land owners continue to diversify.
The potential for the continued development of other secondary industries within the district exists and the Gore District Council acknowledges that these will have a large influence in the future. The service industries would appear to have the greatest potential for growth, both in economic and employment terms. This trend may accelerate as demographic projections indicate an ageing population.
