Louisiana’s economic output is enormous and vital to building a stronger, more resilient American economy. Three examples:
Agribusiness
Unrivaled Grown-in-Louisiana seafood/livestock/crops are processed and sold to all of America… and the world.
Life Sciences/Healthcare
From first-class universities to startups, Louisiana leads in scientific exploration to improve disease prevention/treatments, pharmaceutical efficacy, women’s health, and more.
Aerospace/Aviation
Louisiana’s aerospace and aviation sector helped launch manned space missions and today contributes significantly to America’s military forces.
To expand these economic contributions to the American way of life, Louisiana manufacturers are reliant on a steady supply of:
