A service town for the surrounding farming industry, its main industry is the [[abattoir|freezing works]]. During the economic slump of the [[1980s]], many of the town's industries were badly affected, and unemployment soared. For this reason, the town's population has dwindled in recent years, although there are signs of an economic revival in the district.
