Orji is a traditionally agrarian community, but since the recent past, the search for greener pastures in foreign lands by the youths of Orji has made agriculture lose its dominance, as an economic activity, as people have now discovered farms in other sectors. This is more so as most of the farmlands have been acquired by government for other uses, thereby denying peasant farmers in the community their sources of livelihood.
