Tinoc is basically an agricultural
municipality because of its topography and temperate climate condition. The
people’s source of livelihood is mainly from agricultural products despite the
adverse topography and accessibility of the municipality.
Tinoc
has an agricultural land area of about 5, 802 hectares. It covers
irrigated/upland rice land areas; diversified fruit trees farmlands, vegetables
and root crop land, mixed fruit tree croplands, and other agricultural lands.
The widest and most prominent is rice land, of which 803 hectares is irrigated
and 10 hectares un-irrigated. The smallest agricultural sector is the banana
plantation area.
The riverbanks and creeks supply the
water requirement for irrigation and swidden farming. However, vegetable
production is evident among the barangays near Benguet side, instead of swidden
farming.
