Agriculture is a major contributor in Martin County, with over 40,000 acres of citrus, and ranked in the top ten in the state for citrus and vegetable production. Sugar cane, ornamentals and cattle production, combined with an egg farm producing over 10 million dozen eggs per year, a flour milling facility, juice concentrate plant and cabbage farm round out the agriculture segment.
Opportunities for innovation in agriculture may provide new chances for growth. Some of these opportunities are variations of traditional product lines, such as the increasing market for specialty and locally produced foods and beverages for niche markets. Others are at the cutting edge of biotechnology as in biofuels and bioplastics.
