In 1020, there was a large export of prawns and dried fish from Vadakkekara Grama Panchayat. Until 1100,[when?] coir was also manufactured and marketed. This marketing was done through cooperatives until it ceased.
Fishing was an occupation within this area, partly to capitalize on the many rivers and streams, which provided waterways for the activity. Copra, coir was also produced here on an industrial basis. Sugarcane production and toddy production was also done on an extensive scope here. The toddy was sold in jars in boats, and alcohol was known as Tawaram.
Agriculture is also prominent in this area. The panchayat has implemented various projects to promote vegetable cultivation in the households in the area.[2][3]
A project initiated by the panchayat encouraged all households to launch vegetable cultivation during the COVID-19 lockdown and became a model for ensuring self-sufficiency in times of adversity.[2]
