Known for its fertile land and favorable climate, the district is predominantly agricultural, with farming being the main source of livelihood for the majority of its population. The area is particularly famous for the production of rice, a staple crop in the district, as well as bananas, cocoa, coconuts, and coffee. Kyela’s rice is well-known for its high quality and is widely consumed across Tanzania. The district is rich in natural resources, which also supports fishing, especially on Lake Nyasa, where fishing communities thrive. The Kyela District Council plays a critical role in overseeing development activities, promoting agricultural productivity, enhancing local infrastructure, and ensuring that basic services such as health, education, and water are accessible to its citizens. In recent years, the council has focused on improving road infrastructure to enhance market access for farmers, allowing them to transport their produce more efficiently to other regions and even across borders. The Kyela District Council also works in partnership with governmental and non-governmental organizations to improve local health services, education systems, and the overall socio-economic well-being of the population. Through these initiatives, the council is contributing to the sustainable development of the region.
