Khankaysky District is one of the largest agricultural regions of the krai. The area of agricultural grounds totals 1,230 square kilometers (470 sq mi). Soybeans, rice, buckwheat, and vegetables are cultivated. Meat, milk, and honey are also produced in the district. Fish breeding is cultivated in ponds.
Another feature of this district is a customs point, Tury Rog, which is located on the Russian-Chinese border. Heavy track traffic passes through this point. Close to the customs point is a large Chinese coal mining basin, Jixi.
There are no large industrial enterprises in this area, which helps keep the recreational zones ecologically clean.
