Agriculture dominates the county's economy.
Paprika and tomatoes are grown in abundance, the crops nourished by waters from the melting of snow in local mountains. India-based spice company
Synthite Industrial Chemicals established a processing facility in the county in 2012 with the support of the local government which cleared out of a 1,000 square foot office to provide office space and complementary electricity and communications for the company. Synthite had decided to open its first overseas production facility after becoming frustrated with the low grade variety of paprika available in India despite attempts to encourage Indian farmers to grow higher quality crops. The facility process 300,000 tons of paprika per year and employs 60 Chinese employees and three Indian employees. As of 2014 the company had expansion plans and intended to go into the cultivation of
lavender and tomatoes, creating what it called a "major export hub". == Administrative divisions ==
