Arkansas' Global Economy
The reach of the Arkansas economy is truly worldwide. Over 180 foreign owned companies currently operate in the state with representation from 33 countries. This vibrant international business ecosystem supports 32,000+ jobs for Arkansans and is growing expeditiously.
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.
