Historically, the municipality of Quiroga has had a flourishing economy that has been reflected in the existence of different industries such as bottling soft drinks in the first half of the twentieth century. Overall, farming has been a major activity for the people of this municipality who cultivated maize, wheat, beans, and alfalfa. The raising of cattle in the municipality has been undermined as a result of the lack of a center for collection and a method of distribution. Some industries in the municipality include footwear, industrial blacksmithing and souvenir making. The municipality of Quiroga has one of the largest markets and offers some of the most important crafts of Michoacan. Marketing and crafts are considered to be some of the main sources of income because they attract tourism.[9]

Quiroga is renowned in Michocan for its carnitas, sold in the city's restaurants, street food carts, and market stalls.
