Louisiana is also a major source of U.S. petroleum and refined petroleum products, natural gas, petrochemicals, forest products, agricultural crops, salt, sulphur and seafood. With so many reasons to call Louisiana home, emerging industries such as advanced materials, digital media and life sciences are expanding rapidly.
