Agriculture is the backbone of the economy of Wainamah village. Though the name 'Wainamah' means 'tobacco market', it is a bit difficult to find tobacco in the area. This is because of the decline in the price of the tobacco years back, new farms and modern methods of cultivation by the companies that used to buy the local tobacco from these villagers, thus, the new generation here does not find it worthy to cultivate the tobacco since it is mainly for export, consumed by a very few aged people. The abandonment of tobacco cultivation led to peasant agriculture with main crops like maize, beans, cassava, palm wine tapping and cattle rearing. Wainamah has the second largest cattle market in Bui Division with a slaughter slap provided by the state. The villagers of Wainamah take advantage of the long rainy season which ensures continuous availability of grass and legumes for animals to rear a good number of cattle, goats and sheep.
The cold temperatures slow down agricultural activities as crops such as maize which is one of the main crops cultivated here take up to 7–8 months to mature. This forces the villagers to take up farms in the neighboring villages like Kwanso or Babessi town.
There also exist a few shops in the village. Here, bars or drinking spots of either mix of industrially brewed drinks and palm wine or exclusive palm wine spots which outnumber the industrially brewed drinks spots.
