Ozara formerly observed an "eight-market-day" trade which takes place every "Eke" market day. Recently, it has been reduced to every four days, which means it now observes both Ozara and the nearby Amiyi community's market days. Ozara sells primarily garri, varieties of yam, palm oil, and other farm produce.
