Idaho Economy
About half of Alabama
Until recently, agriculture was the most
important industry in Idaho; recently it has been surpassed by manufacturing.
The state is probably best known for its potatoes, and Idaho is the nation’s
leading producer of spuds. However, Idaho also produces hay, wheat, peas, beans,
and sugar beets, and supports cattle and dairy herds.
Manufacturing has become more important to the state’s economy. Idaho’s major
products are electronic and computer equipment, processed foods, lumber, and
chemicals. Mining, once a major source of income for the state, is still
economically important, with production of phosphates, gold, silver, molybdenum,
antimony, lead and zinc leading.
For many, Idaho is best known for its vacation spots. Sun Valley, one of the
nation’s leading year-round tourist attractions is the state's most important
resort. The nation’s largest elk herds draw hunters from all over the world, and
Idaho’s many streams and lakes provide fishing, camping and boating sites.
