Maine Economy

About half of Alabama

Maine has a wealth of natural resources that support a large part of the state’s economy. Nearly 89% of Maine’s land area is covered by forest. As a result, the state is one of the world’s leading producers of paper products. Mineral deposits within the state include granite (used for construction throughout the United States), sand and gravel, and zinc.

Wooden shipbuilding was historically one of Maine’s most important industries. Shipbuilding has greatly declined in recent decades, but the state now produces warships at the Bath Iron Works. It is one of the state’s largest single employers.

Large amounts of lobster and sardines are harvested from the waters off the coast. Rich farmlands to the west produce dairy products, poultry, eggs, potatoes, blueberries, hay and apples.

Tourism remains a significant industry for the state. Resorts along Maine’s coast and on its numerous islands attract many visitors to the state each year.
