Agriculture in Arizona[edit]
Agriculture in Arizona is a notable sector in the state’s economy, contributing more than $23.3 billion in 2018. Arizona’s diverse climate allows it to export all sorts of commodities such as food crops, nuts, wheat, cotton, eggs, meat, and dairy across 70 countries and the United States. In 2018, the state produced 455.7 million pounds of red meat and ranked 3rd in producing vegetables in the United States, using 26 million acres of land for all farms and ranches.[1]
Due to Arizona’s four deserts and very low rainfall, the agricultural sector gets it's water from the on the state's rivers and streams that include the Colorado, Verde, Salt, Gila, San Pedro, Santa Cruz and Little Colorado Rivers.[2][1]
