Ortaca's economy is based on agriculture. It lies midway between Dalaman and Köyceğiz. Its name literally means "the town in the middle," possibly a reference to its location in the middle of the surrounding plain. The town's economy largely depends on its tomatoes, citrus fruits, cotton, and pomegranates.
