Economy

For many years, agriculture has been an important part of Sokolac. For most inhabitants, agriculture is the only way to make a living, but also a family tradition. Sokolac used to be known for its high quality potato; until recently, the potato chip industry was a promising industry for the region. Livestock production is the second largest agriculture industry in the community. The area surrounding Sokolac is well known for its quality grasslands, due to foggy, moist conditions that keep the grasses green much of the year and make them well suited for grazing dairy, cattle and sheep. The beef cattle and sheep is the second largest export of the community. Although Sokolac has a small dairy factory, the milk market production is very small. Sokolac is surrounded by high quality woodlands, which have been largely destroyed in last ten years. Although this industry generates most revenue for the community, a small percentage of people work in the industry. Sokolac is the important intersection of the regional roads.
