Agriculture:
Arunachal Pradesh as a whole is a deficit state in agricultural production. However, various efforts have been made to increase the food grain production. Food grain production which stood at 12,200 MT in 1980 have gone up to 2,43,000 MT by 1995.

Major crops: Rice, Maize, Potato, Ginger, Vegetable oil seeds etc.

Horticulture:
The state is bestowed with ideal weather and suitable agro-climatic condition for growing tropical and sub-tropical fruits.

Fisheries:
Arunachal is predominantly a tribal region and the people are non-vegetarian in diet. A network of numerous rivers, streams, natural ponds provide vast scope for fisheries development in the state. During the year 1994-95 the total fish production of the state was 1850 tonnes, against the total demand of 5000 tonnes.

Prospective fishery industry: Aquaculture, integrated fish farming, paddy-cum-fish culture, duck culture, fish culture, pig-cum fish culture, trout culture, development of cold water fisheries, reclamation of beels and swamps etc.

Dairy & Poultry:
The state has got a vast potential for the development of dairy, poultry and piggery units. As the entire tribal population is non-vegetarian in diet and many social and religious rites are also performed with sacrifice of livestock animals, hence rearing of livestock animals may be a profitable venture. Though most of the tribes are not in the habit of consuming milk, but the consumption of certain dairy based products like butter, ghee, cheese, milk powder, sweets etc. have been increasing both within and outside the state.

Prospective dairy/ poultry industry: Hybrid animals and poultry, Broiler farming, Meat processing, Dairy unit, Ice cream, Poultry feed, Piggery, Cattle farming etc.
