Today, Köthorgó is a small, rural community surrounded by agricultural land and wine-growing regions. The local economy is primarily based on farming, animal husbandry, and the production of wine, which is one of Hungary's most famous export products. The village's economy is also influenced by its proximity to Szekszárd, which serves as a major administrative and commercial center in the region.
