Economy of Bukidnon Province

Bukidnon is considered the food basket of Mindanao because of the variety of its agricultural products namely: rice, corn, pineapple, cassava, coffee, sugarcane, poultry and livestock. There are also factories that process these products like rice mills, corn mills and sugar mills. In Malaybalay City, a bamboo processing facility was recently inaugurated.

The province of Bukidnon is a major supplier of electricity to the whole island of Mindanao due to the presence of hydroelectric power plants especially the Pulangi IV power plant in Maramag.
