Alabama has a strong and varied economy rooted in both agriculture and industry. Agriculture remains an important part of the state's economy, with poultry and eggs leading as the top agricultural products. Cattle, cotton, peanuts, soybeans, and corn are also widely produced. The fertile soil in central and southern Alabama, especially in the Black Belt region, supports diverse farming operations. Industry has played a major role in Alabama's economic growth, particularly in manufacturing, steel production, and aerospace. The northern city of Huntsville is a hub for aerospace and defense technology, with NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and several major contractors based there. Birmingham, once a center for iron and steel production, remains a key industrial city. In recent years, Alabama has also become a growing center for automobile manufacturing, with several international car companies operating large assembly plants in the state. Overall, Alabama's economy blends its agricultural heritage with modern industries, making it a vital contributor to the southeastern U.S. economy. |
