Commerce is an important activity in the district. About 15% of the population is engaged in commerce as a major occupation. This has been facilitated by the strategic position of the District capital which is located midway on the Sunyani Kumasi highway. Most of the towns along this highway enjoy high commercial activities due to the high influx of traders from Accra, Kumasi, Sunyani and Techiman. The major marketing centres in the district are Duayaw Nkwanta, Yamfo, Bomaa and Adrobaa. Market facilities (stores and stalls) have been provided through the European Union/Government of Ghana Micro-Projects Programme as well as the World Bank /Government of Ghana Village Infrastructure Project with the support of the District Assembly.The major Commercial activities in the District include marketing of food stuffs, Agricultural inputs, second hand clothing, footwear, Provision, medical and agro chemical selling, general spare parts, beverages and toiletries. The major set back of marketing in the district has been high cost of transportation.
