Bundaberg's economy depends heavily on the sugar industry. Sugarcane fields cover much of the district, and many parts of the sugar industry are based around the city. One of the city's best-known products is Bundaberg Rum, which is also made from sugar.
Fruit and vegetable farming is also important to the Bundaberg region. Tomatoes, legumes and watermelons are grown in large quantities on irrigated farms. Tourism is becoming increasingly important in Queensland, and Bundaberg is an important gateway to the Great Barrier Reef.
Bundaberg is twinned with Nanning in China and Settsu City in Japan.
