==Economy of Tibiao, Antique, Philippines==
Basically an agricultural community, rice, which constitutes the great bulk of the agricultural produce, is processed in 12 rice mills operating in the municipality. Other crops grown are vegetables, corn, watermelon and mango. Cattle, carabaos (water buffaloes), goats, chickens, ducks and swine are also commonly raised in the community. And of course, Tibiao is known throughout Antique as the original home of the famous Tibiao Bakery which has already branched out to the capital town of  San Jose and Iloilo City.

Fish supplies primarily come from marine resources and are locally caught using conventional methods. Presently the three privately operated Otoshi-ami (Lambaklad) ensure an almost continuous supply of fish in the areas where they are situated. A very negligible percentage of bangus, tilapia and hito from brackish and fresh water sources supplement the community’s supply of fish.
 
Cottage industries in the municipality are not so lucrative. While there are ventures in pottery, bamboo crafts and salt making, the volume of produce is enough only for local consumption. Motorized tricycles facilitate mobility in some barangays; however, they are not sufficient to meet the demands of the populace.
 
Primarily, the Philippine Postal Service and the Telecommunication Office provide communication facilities with the latter providing a speedy medium for public use. In emergency cases, the radio communications facilities of the local Philippine National Police force and two privately owned ones are employed.
 
Broadcast media is the dominant link of the Tibiaoanons to the outside world. In addition, a minimum quantity of printed media of provincial, regional, and national circulation are also available.
