The state ranks last in the United States in relation to the quantity of farms and importance of farm yields. Alaska’s most productive agricultural soil is in the south central region of the state. These areas include the Matanuska Valley north of Anchorage and the Tanana Valley near Fairbanks. The state's most important farm produce are hothouse, dairy products and potatoes. Alaska’s commercial fishing industry is the largest producer in the United States, producing salmon, crab, shrimp, halibut, herring, and cod. The chief fishing ports here are Anchorage and Dutch Harbor. The food-processing industry here is mainly involved with the freezing and canning of fish. The processing of fish is the number one manufacturing activity in Alaska. Logging and the industries connected to the forest are of major value to the Alaskan economy. There are disagreements in relation to timber harvesting in Alaska’s immense national forests. These battles are continuing and will heighten as the desire to harvest the dwindling virgin forest meets ecological concerns. Alaska’s most important business is the mining of petroleum and natural gas. Gold is no longer mined in any significant amount. The fur trade is the oldest business in the state, with animal skins being obtained from a large assortment of animals. The Pribilof Islands provide the source of many government regulated sealskins. The Alaskan North Slope, near Prudhoe Bay is a petroleum reservoir that is twice the size of any other oilfield in North America. The Trans-Alaska pipeline runs from the North Slope to the ice-free port of Valdez that was opened in 1977. Once production started oil started to lead the state economy. A system was put in place in 1977 called the Alaska Permanent Fund, which sets aside twenty five percent of oil royalties to supply Alaskans with revenue after the oil reserves are depleted. The government including federal, state, and local offices is a key source of employment in this northern outpost. Alaska's tactical position in relation to Russia has created substantial military interest since World War II. The US military has developed highways, airfields, and permanent military bases adding to the state’s economy. The tourism business in Alaska has grown significantly as transportation options to the state have expanded. Tourism is the second largest industry in the state next to oil production. The Inside Passage, for cruise ships, Denali National Park, and the world famous 1000-mile long sled-dog race called the Iditarod are chief tourist attractions. Alaska real estate an investment worth makeing. |
