The economy of Maasim is largely based on agriculture with a high level production of copra (dried coconut meat). Animal husbandry is the second biggest income earner, notably cattle farming. Other agricultural products are coconuts, maize, sugarcane, bananas, pineapples, mangoes, eggs, beef, and fish.

The economy has accelerated in the past decade,[when?] driven by advances in global communication technology and the finishing of a modern highway that greatly improved trade and transport.


Kamanga Power Plant


KPP announced on June 3, 2008, that Alcantara-controlled Conal Holdings Co. would build in mid-2009 the $450 million 200-megawatt clean coal Kamanga Power Plant, in Maasim, Saranggani. The plant was expected to supply part of Mindanao's baseload power requirements when it is operational in 2012.[17]
