There are commercial and trading operations all over the region, although they are concentrated in the major agricultural produce and wood products markets at Juaboso, Bodi, Bonsu Nkwanta, Bibiani, and Sefwi Wiawso. Despite the fact that the transportation industry offers job opportunities for the populace, both commercial and private cars operate in the region in substantial numbers but face challenges from poor roads.
