Industry
Hafizabad/Jalalpur Bhattian is famous for its high-quality rice. About 10% of the country's rice exports are from Hafizabad, which is sometimes referred to as the Land of Rice or City of Rice. Cotton powe loom (weaving) is the second largest industry of Hafizabad. It is linked directly with the cotton market in Faisalabad and businessmen from Faisalabad deal directly with the cotton industry in Hafizabad. It plays an important role in the development of Hafizabad. This industry has been badly affected by the energy crisis.
Before the partition, the per-annum income of Hafizabad just from rice was 1.5 Crore. Peshwar, Agra, Mithra, Calcutta, Karachi, and Sukker were Hafizabad's main clients. Up to 23 rice mills were there until the partition of Hindustan; the main rice mills were Cheema Rice Mills, Sohna Mill, Shri Haweli Ram Des Mills, Sardar Sundar Mills, Doctor Manohar Lal Rice Mills, Rajindar Nath Mills, Seeta Raam Mills, Mela Raam Bhagwan Rice Mills, Jeeram Daas Mills, Baily Raam Rice Mills and others.The following types of rice are cultivated in Hafizabad: Basmati 385, Basmati 386, Super Karnal, Ery Nine, Erey Six, Super Fan, and KS 282.
