Built to Grow
Our agribusiness industry is one of the state’s most powerful economic drivers, supported by millions of acres of farmland, leading agricultural commodities, and a strong food-processing and manufacturing base. From Georgia, businesses can quickly and efficiently access the Southeastern United States market, the fastest-growing region in the country. It’s no wonder almost half of the country’s top 100 food processing companies have operations in Georgia.
Georgia supplies the world with more peanuts, pecans, and poultry than any other state in the nation, supporting a diverse and thriving agricultural economy (UGA AgReport, 2026).
Georgia farms are active and in production and feeding the world with $5.3 billion in agricultural exports in 2024.
In 2024, Georgia’s food production contributed $14.6 billion to the state’s GDP, underscoring agribusiness’ vital role in powering Georgia’s economy (JobsEQ).
