      abstract = {Agricultural production, processing, and retail industries  are major contributors to Arkansas’ GDP. Agriculture  contributes to the state economy through direct  agricultural production, value-added processing, and  agricultural retail activities. The Agriculture and Food  Sector, which is comprised of agricultural production,  processing, and retail industries, promotes economic  strength through various interactions with other  industries. The use of non-agricultural goods and services  as inputs into the agricultural sector promotes diversified  growth in Arkansas’ economy and thus plays a vital role in  maintaining economic stability throughout the state. This  report 1) compares the relative size of the Agriculture and  Food Sector in Arkansas with those of neighboring states;  2) provides an overview of Arkansas’ economy and discusses  Arkansas’ agricultural sector in relation to the state  economy; and 3) examines components of agricultural  production and processing, including a review of historical  sales trends for raw and processed agricultural output.},
