The agricultural sector in
Noveleta centers on crop production, fishery, livestock and poultry raising.
Fishery is a major source of livelihood in the municipality. Around 100 hectares
are utilized for aquaculture and fishpond activities, most of which are in
Brgys. San Rafael II, III, and IV.
The main products of Noveleta:
--- include
bangus, prawns, crabs, tilapia, mussels and oysters.
SALTBEDS
The fishponds are
converted to saltbeds during the dry season.
ENTERPRISES
A big enterprise, which spurs the
output in the service sector, is the presence of the Noveca Industries in Brgy.
Sta. Rosa. Manufacturing is limited to light and medium industries such as sash
factories and several garment factories.
Other activities are the manufacture
of furniture, iron gates and grills, and hollowblocks. The construction boom,
on the other hand, is due to the mushrooming of residential subdivisions in the
area. A number of commercial establishments are located along Noveleta’s major
thoroughfares.
RETAIL STORES
Small retail stores, service firms, and some medium scale
enterprises, dot the municipality. There are specialty stores engaged in the
trade of construction supplies and materials, auto parts, furniture and home
decors, sportswear as well as fresh food items like meat, fruits and
vegetables. Also based in the town are three pharmacies, eleven bakeries and
two gasoline stations. The tourism industry in Noveleta relies mainly on its
coastline with the Manila Bay bordering its western portion. Restaurants,
cottages, conference rooms, and social halls/pavilions are situated along the
beaches of Brgys. San Rafael III and IV.
