Agribusiness Fact: North Carolina's agriculture industry, including food, fiber and forestry, contributes over $66 billion annually to the state's economy, accounts for nearly ¼ of the state's income, and employs over 20% of the work force.

If you have questions or need assistance in planning, expansion, financing or site location for new or existing agribusiness related industries, please give the NCDA & CS a call. We will be glad to assist by providing assistance or directing you to the appropriate authority.
