Crop production is a cornerstone of Arkansas’s economy. The state ranks among the top producers nationally in rice, soybeans, cotton, and corn. Arkansas farmers generate billions of dollars in agricultural output each year, supporting rural communities, creating jobs, and driving trade. The Arkansas Department of Agriculture plays a vital role in protecting this sector by ensuring the health of crops, fairness in commerce, and confidence in the food and fiber supply chain.
The Department supports Arkansas agriculture by protecting plant health, regulating agricultural inputs, and ensuring product quality across the state. With a focus on service and integrity, the Department provides information and unbiased enforcement of state laws and regulations to safeguard consumers, farmers, and businesses alike.
