Georgia is an ideal home for food processing – it’s
the state’s leading manufacturing sector in terms
of employment and Gross State Product (GSP). With
more than 50,000 farms producing a variety of food
commodities, Georgia’s processors capitalize on an
abundance of raw materials. Georgia is home to a
highly skilled, affordable workforce, an exceptional
transportation infrastructure and world-class
technological resources geared toward promoting
the success of the food processing industry.
Georgia’s business climate is consistently
ranked as the best in the country with a
business-friendly tax code and incentives that
encourage manufacturing growth for existing
and newly arriving companies.
Why Georgia for Food Processing?
• Abundant agricultural assets
• Excellent accessibility to market
• Skilled, affordable workers
• Exceptional transportation systems

Food Processing Makes a Difference
Food processing operations are a vital part of
Georgia’s economy. As the single largest contributor
to the state’s manufacturing gross state product
(GSP), the success of Georgia’s food processing
operations is paramount. Estimated wage
disbursements of nearly $4 billion in 2015 have a
profound impact on the state’s economic health.
Wage distributions and food processing output are
only part of the equation, as new food processing
locations contribute to growth in other segments.
Economic impact models estimate that for every
100 jobs created in food processing, an additional
100 to 400 jobs in supporting industry will be
created depending on the type of operation.

A Food Processing Leader
Georgia’s food processing production and employment make it one of the top states in the nation.
Top food processors from around the world have
operations in Georgia. Twenty of the nation’s
leading 25 companies, based on sales, have a
presence in the state. Georgia’s food processing
industry is quite diverse in terms of products
and operation size. Global icon Coca-Cola is
headquartered in Atlanta and employs thousands
of workers around the state. However, the majority
of Georgia’s food and beverage producers employ
fewer than 100 workers. Poultry processing
operations are among the state’s largest food
manufacturing employers. This diversity lends
strength and sustainability to the industry and has
enabled Georgia to maintain its position as one of
the nation’s top food processing states in terms
of employment and output. A listing of Georgia’s
food processors begins on page 17 and includes
operations employing 50 or more workers.

A Bright Food Processing Future
Growth of Georgia’s food processing industry is outpacing the U.S.
The size of Georgia’s food processing workforce will increase slightly through 2020, according to Moody’s
Economy.com.
In 2016, food processing output will increase by $1.3 billion from the previous year to $13.7 billion in gross
product (nominal dollars). Technology and process automation will continue to enhance the productivity of
Georgia’s highly skilled, results-oriented workers.

Employment-at-Will State
Georgia recognizes the doctrine of
employment-at-will. Employment-at-will
means that in the absence of a written
contract of employment for a defined duration,
an employer can terminate an employee for
good cause, bad cause or no cause at all.
Right-to-Work State
Georgia has been a right-to-work state since
1947. Georgia has a very low unionized
membership. Right-to-work legislation
assures that:
• Workers will not be forced to join a union
by employers or other union members.
• Employees working for a company with a
union presence may decide for themselves
whether or not to join a union.
• Workers cannot be forced to join a strike.
• Interference with an employer’s lawful
business through violence or mass
picketing will not be allowed.

Georgia’s wages for manufacturing occupations related to food processing are typically lower than those
of the U.S. overall. Georgia is highly competitive within the Southeast as well, with an advantage over
surrounding states based on concentration of food processing workers and low wages. Additionally,
Georgia’s employment-at-will, right-to-work status and low unionization rates help the state’s food
processing operations remain at the forefront of increasingly global markets.

systems connecting areas around the state to the
rest of the nation, products made in Georgia are
never far from their markets. Two major rail systems
serve customers across the state. Two major ports,
Savannah and Brunswick, enable manufacturers
and processors to quickly ship to domestic and
global customers.

“Robots Start to Grasp Food Processing”
Private companies and researchers are
working to create advanced robotics capable
of product manipulation previously only
achievable by humans. While robotics
are commonly used in many advanced
manufacturing applications, delicate, flexible,
naturally variable objects such as meat,
fruit and vegetables require much more
sophisticated sensing and manipulation.
Researchers at Georgia Tech’s Food Processing
Technology are helping refine food processing
robotics and offer a concrete connection
to industry. “Interest is driven partly by the
potential to cut labor costs, just as in other
industries. But food processing companies
also see robotics as a way to increase safety,”
says Gary McMurray, who leads the Food
Processing Technology division at the Georgia
Tech Research Institute.

Georgia is a pro-business state. An aggressive incentives program, favorable tax rates, favorable conditions
for employers and programs to accelerate the permitting and development process make Georgia the right
place to start and grow a business. Georgia’s current corporate income tax is 6 percent, ranking it the
lowest in the nation. Georgia’s corporate income tax is based on a single-factor apportionment, weighted
solely on sales receipts in Georgia.
Statutory Incentives
Food processing companies in Georgia are
often eligible for a variety of tax credits and
sales tax exemptions. The state’s job tax credit
program grants credits for job creation that may
be applied against the state’s corporate income
tax. Other tax credits include those tied to capital
investment, employee training and child care. See
the listing to the right for major tax credit programs
and major tax exemptions in Georgia. For detailed
information on tax exemptions, credits and other
state incentives, please visit the Publications page
of SelectGeorgia.com.
Employment-at-Will State

Survey,” Area Development magazine, September 2015
Georgia has no employment laws that are more
stringent or restrictive than those at the federal
level. Georgia is an employment-at-will state. In
the absence of a written contract and in compliance
with federal employment laws, employers in Georgia
are able to exercise their own hiring and dismissal
decisions; state laws make no provisions for
wrongful discharge.
Rapid Permitting
One-Stop Permitting: Georgia offers a consolidated
state environmental program with delegated
authority from the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) for issuance and enforcement of
federal permits. The Georgia Department of Natural
Resources issues or denies all permits required
by state and federal environmental protection
legislation when a facility is being located in the
state. One-stop permitting enables prospective
industries to obtain expedited required permits.
