An industrial centre, Pabna has mills for jute, cotton, rice, flour, oil, paper, and sugar. It also produces pharmaceuticals. Hosiery and hand-loomed products are important cottage industries.

      The surrounding area lies within the angle formed by the confluence of the Padma and Jamuna (the name of the Brahmaputra (Brahmaputra River) in Bangladesh) rivers.
