Largest Industries

Service, retail, finance, insurance, agriculture and real estate play a vital role in the area's economy. Many corporations, such as large banks and telecommunications companies, maintain regional offices in Tampa. Today, Tampa is a center not only for cigars and tourism, but also for agriculture, food processing, electronics and other high-technology fields, health care and related industries, and finance.

Agriculture is the main business in the region. Hillsborough County markets an abundance of citrus fruit, beef cattle, dairy products, eggs, vegetables, ornamental plants and flowers, and tropical fish. As a result, many agriculture-related industries have been attracted to the area, including food processing firms; feed, fertilizer, and insecticide companies; and paper and metal container manufacturers. Hillsborough County alone has an estimated 740,000 employees. Two breweries, Anheuser-Busch and Pabst, also have facilities in Tampa.

Tampa's port is now the seventh largest in the nation and Florida’s largest tonnage port, handling nearly half of all seaborne commerce that passes through the state. Tampa currently ranks second in the state behind Miami in terms of cruise ship travel.Tampa has attained the status of a free trade zone, an area where goods can be unloaded for repacking, storage, or transshipment without being subject to import duties.
