I’m not sure this is completely right but here’s a few reasons why:

1) Volcanic rock and ash provide fertile land which results in a higher crop yield for farmers.

2) Tourists are attracted to the volcano, which increases money to the local economy

3) Geothermal energy can be harnessed, which provides cheaper electricity for locals
