Our economy is mostly based on agriculture. The chief crops are vine, cereal, hazelnut, almond and olive trees, although, nowadays, only the 28% of the territory is cultivated. The Co-operative Cellar was founded in 1969.

The traditional industry in town was the making of baskets with palmetto leaves, that lasted until half the 20th century, and also the back supplying for the tanning industries in Igualada.

Nowadays there is a flower plantation and a small textile factory, both located in suburb of Los Peces.

In 1972, the town housed an animal reservation, which has been lately completed with the opening of the water park 'Aqualeón'.
