=== Agriculture ===
Thanks to its spring, Lapithos has rich water resources and fertile land. This results in an agricultural sector with a diverse range of products. Citrus is a major product, the lemons of Lapithos are especially renowned. In the hills, olive and carob trees grow. Among other trees and crops cultivated are [[pistachio]], konari and kolokas/kolokasi. Mulberry trees are also planted and provide the protection of lemon trees from the salt and winds of the sea, as well as the silk that is used in the silk industry and handicrafts. Lapithos also has a great variety of plums, including the "flokkaroues" variety unique to the town.<ref>{{cite web|title=Farming and Crops|url=http://www.lapithos.org.cy/default.aspx?articleID=2940|publisher=Lapithos Municipality|access-date=8 June 2015}}</ref>
