Mississippi boasts extensive forest coverage across much of its landscape beyond the Mississippi Delta, with over 62% of the state's total land area—equaling approximately 19.1 million acres—dedicated to forests, including significant pine and mixed hardwood stands. The state's thriving aquaculture sector dominates U.S. farm-raised catfish production, accounting for over 50% of the national total. Since its admission to the Union on December 10, 1817, Mississippi has cultivated a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem, now home to 283,383 small businesses that form the backbone of its economy.
