The largest structure of value added is from the oil, gas and geothermal mining sector and is followed by the trade sector. GDP according to the largest business sector is from the agricultural sector and shows an increasing trend.

While the biggest income multipliers are from the palm oil sector, other goods industries and the beverage industry.
