Regarding the traditional productive sectors, the district economy is strongly led by the service sector, within which the TOURIST SECTOR outstands due to the city natural features.
Apart from the traditional “sun and beach” option, other non-traditional attractions appear to be on the increase, among them, long weekend urban tourism, considering the wide diversity of recreational activities this city has to offer. Also, conventions and congresses tourism makes the most of hotels capacity and of the favorable conditions available, and natural and rural tourism emphasizes on the picturesque sceneries of Mar del Plata.

The AGRICULTURAL AND CATTLE BREEDING SECTOR also deserves to be mentioned. The lands in this district are rich in humus content, being especially suitable for small grains, such as wheat, oat, and linen as well as for coarse grains, such as corn, sunflower and soy. As regards cattle breeding, bovine, ovine and equine cattle is raised. Livestock production concentrates on breeding, wintering and dairy farm activities in this district. The so-called Careta breed, a cross between Aberdeen Angus and Hereford breeds, predominates in this region.

Among the dynamic sectors of recent development, the HORTICULTURAL SECTOR outstands. It has taken advantage of the natural resources of the area and witnessed a notorious increase in the last decade.
Such an increase stems from having diversified species and quality products. The most common species cropped are peppers, sweet red peppers, lettuce, garlic, onion, string bean, pumpkin, tomato and carrot.
In addition, crucifers and fruits are cultivated. Potato cropping deserves a special mention at this point.
