As it's situated on some of Panem's most fertile land, District Eleven's major industry, agriculture, has not changed since its founding. What has changed it the district's economic level; in recent years new technologies and the ability to keep and sell crops (rather than tithing most of the crop yield to the Capitol) has created the biggest economic turnaround in all of Panem. However, due to its very nature, most of District Eleven has remained rural despite their recent wealth.
