Delaware Economy

The city of Wilmington, Delaware is the heart of the state’s economy. This city is home to the DuPont Company - one the largest chemical companies in the world. DuPont has developed such well-known products as Nylon, Teflon, Cellophane, Stainmaster carpets, and Lycra brand spandex.

In addition to the DuPont Company, many other industries are located in the Wilmington area. These manufacturers produce clothing, processed food, rubber and plastic products, paper products, metals, and printed materials, and transportation equipment.

While the state is primarily industrial, agriculture still plays an important role. Delaware is a leading producer of broiler chickens. Potatoes, soybeans, corn, and dairy products are also important to the state’s economy. Its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean has resulted in the growth of a fishing industry that produces crabs, clams and oyster.

Dover Air Force Base in Dover, Delaware, is the state’s largest military facility and a major employer.
