Why Arkansas?

Arkansas not only attracts global business investment to the state but exports products at impressive levels. In 2023, Arkansas exported $6.5 billion of goods representing a 9.2% increase over 2022. Exported products from Arkansas represented a hearty 5.1% of the state’s total GDP and, given Arkansas’ population of 3.063 million people, its total 2023 exports translated to roughly $2,100 generated per capita in the Natural State.
With an abundance of available sites and buildings, strong river ports, nine interstates, three Class I railroads, a quality workforce, pro-business policies, and a strong economy spanning a range of sectors, it’s no wonder international companies are finding Arkansas to be the natural choice for business.
