Arkansas State Information:
Arkansas is located near the geographical and population center of the United States.

Agriculture continues to be the leading industry in Arkansas commanding more than 25 percent of the state’s economy. It is the US leader in rice production, second in poultry, and third in catfish. However, the state is slowly moving away from its dependency on primary products. Manufacturing now accounts for 18 percent of GDP and there has also been strong growth in services. One of the key industries for the growth of manufacturing is the aerospace industry. Exports in this industry increased 65% in 2005, following a 35% increase in 2004.
