Indiana's agriculture industry contributes more than $31.2 billion to the Hoosier economy, making Indiana the tenth largest ag state in the nation. Gov. Eric Holcomb (R-IN) is working to grow Indiana's ag trade partnerships and welcoming new ag businesses to the state.
Holcomb has been on trade missions to Japan, France, and Portugal in the past year. He says he points to Indiana's cooperative nature for businesses when pitching the state to global ag companies.
Indiana is home to the headquarters of some of the world's leading agriculture companies, including Corteva Agriscience, Elanco, Intellinair, AgReliant Genetics, Equipment Technologies, Beck's Hybrids, and Taranis. Many new ag businesses have also chosen Indiana as their headquarters, including AgXelerators, AgroRenew, and Verility, Inc.
Holcomb is pleased with the growth of Indiana's agriculture and industry sectors, but he and his administration have a competitive fire to see Indiana's national and worldwide standing in economic development continue to rise. They are continuing to pursue new global business partnerships and investment opportunities.
