- Mining: A leading state in the value of its mined products, petroleum and natural
gas account for over 80% of the value in mining. Coal is also important. Copper, potash, molybdenum,
uranium are also mined in the state. Gold and silver are produced as by-products of copper processing
activities. New Mexico is a leading state in the production of molybdenum.
- Manufacturing: The leading products of New Mexico's manufacturing industries are
computer and electronic equipment. Silicon computer chips are produced in the state making this sector
worth about 80% of the manufacturing industry. Another important product in this sector is telephone
equipment. Chemicals, clothing, concrete, food products, petroleum products and printed materials are
also produced in New Mexico.
- Agriculture: Cattle ranching is the most important agricultural activity in New
Mexico. Beef cattle are shipped to other states for fattening and slaughter. Dairy cattle, poultry and
sheep are also important. Water is scarce in New Mexico and most croplands must be irrigated. Not
surprisingly, the leading crop is hay used to feed cattle. Other crops are grown as well and New Mexico
is a leading producer of chili peppers, onions and pecans. Some cotton, grain sorghum and wheat is also
grown in New Mexico.

- Services: The most important services industry group in New Mexico is the community,
business and personal services group. This group includes private health care, motels and ski resorts,
engineering companies, private research laboratories and repair shops. Tourism brings billions of dollars
into the economy each year. Government services (federal government research laboratories, military bases,
bureau of Indian affairs, public schools and hospitals) rank second. Ranking third is the wholesale
(groceries, motor vehicles, petroleum products) and retail (automobile dealerships, discount stores, food
stores) sector and the finance, insurance and real estate (most important, new home development) sector.

- Natural Resources: Water is scarce in New Mexico and large tracts or land are desert. But New
Mexico's valuable natural resources are put to good use. Its large mineral deposits and its renewable land-based
resources (forests, grasses, plants, animals) are tied integrally to an economy where tourism, mining and
agriculture are major forces.
