For Kusagakure, is there a focus on agriculture? Any native plants or ones that are particularly rare? Those could be made into medicine or traded. You could create something like a regional specialty like Iwa Mochi (this is probably an anime-only thing though since it never surfaced in the manga), which probably would be a great boon to tourism. Since Kusagakure seems to have many forests (with mushrooms and bamboo), rivers, and ravines, you could focus on conservation work or also tie it into to tourism (hiking trails, scenic places, etc). Maybe there's some species unique to Kusagakure there? Kusagakure has a lot of bridges as well, and the Kannabi Bridge's destruction was a pretty significant event. You could focus on bridge engineering or anything really!

I really should start focusing on villages other than Konoha...
