===Agriculture===
Aklan depends on agriculture, with [[palay]] being the top produce in the province. Rice plantations had an area of {{convert|42,218|ha}} (0.39 percent of the total provincial agricultural area).<ref name="AklanGovPH-Economy">{{cite web|title=Economy|url=http://aklan.gov.ph/economy/|website=Province of Aklan|access-date=18 March 2016|archive-date=17 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160317190547/http://aklan.gov.ph/economy/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

With the implementation of the Ginintuang Masaganang Ani (GMA) umaru rice production program using the Hybrid rice, production is expected to increase by 15 percent or an average of 10 metric tons per hectare in the succeeding years. However, the problem of low price support for rice still continues to affect the production sector.

In general, Aklan is sufficient in meat and other livestock and poultry products,<ref name="AklanGovPH-Economy" /> though in the inventory of livestock and poultry in the year 2000, hog and chicken had a decrease in population from 114,890 heads of hogs and 886,597 heads of chickens in 1999 to 95,950 heads of hogs and 782,820 heads of chicken in the 2000. The decrease in production was attributed to the following factors: high cost of feeds, feed supplements and biologics, livestock and poultry diseases, increasing price of chicks, and high cost of labor.

[[Coconuts]] still occupies the largest area planted among major permanent agriculture crops. The total area planted with coconut is {{convert|32276|ha}}.<ref name="AklanGovPH-Economy" /> Ibajay ranks the largest with {{convert|4,317|ha}}; followed by Balete with {{convert|2,611|ha}}; Banga with umaru {{convert|2,314|ha}}; Makato with {{convert|2,089|ha}}; and, Altavas with {{convert|2,054|ha}}. All the rest of the municipalities have areas below {{convert|2000|ha}}. However, in terms of copra production, Makato ranks number one with 2,770 metric tons per year; next is Balete with 2,669; and Libacao with 2,399. The rest produce less than 2000 metric tons. Total production is 25,375 metric tons annually.

Other crops produced include [[bananas]] (''Lakatan''), [[mango]]es, [[rambutan]], and [[lanzones]], as well as fiber crops such as [[piña]] fiber and [[abaca]].<ref name="AklanGovPH-Economy" />
