Ganjam has four medium scale industries, 8580 SSI units and numerous food processing units. Apart from this IDCO has developed industrial estates at Berhampur, Chatrapur and Bhanjnagar.

Under micro and small enterprise sector food & allied sector, chemical & allied sector, forest & allied sector, engineering and metal sector and textile sector are being promoted for future development. 2.2 WEAKNESSES: Poor Connectivity Ganjam is covered by 87 kms of National Highway and 770 kms of State Highway along with other roads. Number of bridges and culverts are being built over rivers and nalas. Despite these, growth centers and education centers are not being connected with interior and remote areas by all weather roads. Lack good road and communication facility hampers the mobility of the people and in a way affects the economy of the district badly. Lack of provisions of funds for upkeep and maintenance of road networks affects their durability. Poor connectivity to market affects agricultural and non agricultural produce of rural areas. Poor Agriculture productivity Agriculture sector predominantly occupies the important place in Ganjam District as a major source of income and employment opportunity. Out of the total geographical area of 8.21 lakh hectors the total area under cultivation is 4.06 lakh hectors. i.e. 47% of total area. However, the agriculture is at the vagaries of Monsoon and dry-land farming technology is absent among farmers.Inputs like quality seeds, fertilizer and bio-fertiliser; pesticides, etc are not available in sufficient quantity and in time of need. Soil testing facility to determine the Micro nutrient contents of soil is available only at Bserhampur. At least three such facilities are required at Aska, Bhanjanagar and Kabisuryanagar for such tests. Other impediment is limited use of farm mechanization equipment and absence of structured programmes on dissemination of technical knowledge to farmers on seed treatment, epidemic control, weed control, rodent control; biological control etc. to be made on outreach mode in regular intervals in back-ward areas of the district. Agriculture and agribusiness centers are nearly absent in the district. District also lags behind in technology transfer and post harvest technology. 29
