The woreda is one of the most abandoned place by the regime in power. The woreda went to spend for about 20 years in darkness, after losing a generator that lit up about 10,000 households. Even if there are some minor changes and development, Estie is still relatively underdeveloped when compared to the national average. The woreda is known for its agricultural product and huge market. Estie densa, a mountain just outside the city of mekane eyesus, is the brand of the woreda with chena and wanka, the two year round rivers, flowing down south to the east and west of the woreda.
