Sa Dec is an agricultural town with its extensive trade and practice in agriculture. It is also a river-port and an industrial trading centre. The Sa Dec economic zone consists of Chau Thanh, Lai Vung and Lap Vo districts. The three major industrial zones of the city attract many businessmen from the Mekong Delta region.
