The Regency of Tolikara is a region whose economic structure is homogenous, namely economic structure dominated by agriculture sector.

• Pattern of trades for goods collection activities mostly based in the City of Karubaga and then spread to the subsequent trade centers (Wamena, Regency of Jawawijaya).
