With nearly 10 million acres of operating farmland, a lengthy growing season, and a favorable climate, Georgia has become known as an agriculture hub. With over $74 billion in economic impact each year, agriculture is also Georgia’s largest industry. In addition, almost half of the country’s top 100 food processing companies are located in the state, including Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation, Chick-fil-A, The Coca-Cola Company, and Tyson Foods, which source many of their offerings directly from Georgia farms.
