Oregon Economy

About half of Alabama

Oregon is the leading provider of lumber in the United States; about one-tenth of the nation’s timber can be found in the state. There are nearly 31 million acres of forest land (almost half the state), and although much of this area is protected from logging for environmental reasons, the state produces more than 5 billion board feet per year. Other industries connected to timber include paper and paper items, printing and publishing.

The state’s numerous dams provide abundant, cheap electric power. The John Day Dam is one of the largest hydroelectric generators in the world. The dams also assist in flood control and navigation, and the rivers are rich in fish, particularly salmon.

In agriculture, the state is a leading producer of peppermint, blackberries, boysenberries, loganberries, black raspberries, and hazelnuts. Also important is the production of raspberries, hops, prunes, snap beans and onions.

Although mining is not a major industry overall, Oregon leads the nation in the production of nickel. Tourism is increasing as a resource to the state, as there are 13 national forests, one national grassland, and more than 220 state parks.
