he main occupation in doab is agriculture. Wheat is the main crop produced. The region is the main supplier of this crop to the entire country and also for export, In bisht doab region, the farmers are more prosperous than anywhere in Punjab because they are mainly not marginal and subsistence farmers unlike the ither regions of Punjab where 70 percent farmers are marginal and subsistence farmers meaning they consume what they produce. This is mainly because of the new corporate agricultural programmes started by the big corporate in the region. In jallandhar area pepsico has started a programme of direct procurement of potatoes from the farmers. This gives them the exact amount and the chunk of their earnings is not eaten up by the middlemen. This also has one more benefit that the produce doesn’t get spoilt in the godowns which is the main problem of this country. This programme has encouraged the farmers to leave the age old cycle of wheat rice and to start go into horticulture and other things which are much more desirable. Reliance also started its farm to fork project in this region with a lot of vigour but that plan is still in papers. Adani group has also started a programme to encourage farmers to grow oranges.

The region follows a policy of CLU( Change in Land Use), where the farmers are asked to set a price for their own land and besides that they are also paid heavy compensation amount for giving their land. This follows the problem of displacement and in return betters the economic condition of the farmers. This policy was first adopted in a place near Chandigarh and now other regions across the country are going in for CLU( Change in Land Use) following its example.
