Divo has a predominantly agrarian economy, with a vast expanse of land suitable for the cultivation of cash crops such as cocoa, coffee, palm oil and rubber, and is known as one of the core production areas of the Ivorian "Cocoa Belt". The city has a market for agricultural products and is the center of regional trade. In recent years, the city has also developed light industry and logistics.
