Economy of Thanjavur
Agriculture and Emerging Farming Trends
Thanjavur, known as the “Rice Bowl of Tamil Nadu,” is a major agricultural hub with paddy as the primary crop, supported by banana, coconut, pulses, sugarcane, and maize. With 58% cultivable land, farming follows the Kuruvai, Samba, and Thaladi seasons.
Although agriculture shapes the region, only 7% of the population is directly involved, while the city serves as a key grain trading center for the Cauvery Delta. Organic farming is growing in popularity, and almond cultivation is emerging due to the district’s favorable climate and soil conditions.
Handicrafts & Arts
The region is famous for its bell metal and bronze craftsmanship, producing metal plates, idols, bowls, and decorative items. Pith work, known for delicate models of temples, deities, birds, and garlands, is another signature art of Thanjavur.

The city hosts all major nationalised and private banks, each offering widespread ATM facilities. Tourism, service-based industries, and agriculture-related trading contribute significantly to Thanjavur’s growing economy.
