Alabama Economy

About half of Alabama

About half of Alabama’s area is devoted to agriculture, and the state ranks third in US broiler chicken production. Cotton is the chief agricultural crop, along with peanuts and vegetables.

Manufacturing accounts for a larger share of the state’s income, however. Where the Tennessee River loops across the north, hydroelectric power from the Tennessee Valley Authority has converted much agricultural land to industrial uses. Today, paper, chemicals, rubber and plastics, apparel and textiles, primary metals, and automobile manufacturing are Alabama’s leading industries. Continuing as a major manufacturer of coal, iron, and steel, Birmingham is also noted for its world-renowned medical center.

Alabama has the second most extensive (after Georgia) forests in the contiguous United States, and pulp and paper products are leading products. Other major industries produce chemicals, electronics, textiles, processed foods, and automobiles. The Marshall NASA Space Flight Center, Redstone Arsenal, Maxwell Air Force Base, and Forts Rucker and McClellan contribute significantly to the economy.
