Economy

Historically, copra has been a major exported good from Ende, with the highest production in coastal areas surrounding the main town. The dry coastal areas were not suitable for the planting of rice or food crops, and hence coconut trees became an agricultural mainstay. The industry has however languished since the 1990s due to competition from palm oil plantations elsewhere in the country. Other significant agricultural products include rice and coffee.
