Antsirabe is an agricultural and industrial centre of Madagascar. Industries include brewing, flour, milk processing, oil, textiles and cigarette manufacturing. The city is the location of the [[STAR|STAR brewery]]'s headquarter, one of the major beer brands in Madagascar. Antsirabe was the location of [[Marc Ravalomanana]] former [[Tiko]] company, which closed at the end of his political career in 2009. [[Tiko]]'s abruptly abandoned storage facilities can be seen for stretching several kilometres along the RN7 north of the city.
Agricultural produce of the area include rice, vegetables and fruits, and due to the cool climate, apples, pears, plums and other temperate fruit can be grown in the region.
