PART I-D.  AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS PROCESSING

DEVELOPMENT LAW

§446.1.  Policy statement as to public purpose

Louisiana agricultural products represent a significant element in the state's economy.  To a large extent, these products are not processed in Louisiana.  In order to convert Louisiana from an exporter of raw agricultural products into an exporter of processed products of high added value and to expand the state's economic base, it is necessary that the state encourage and support the development of agricultural plants to process such products in this state.  It is therefore declared to be the public policy of this state to develop and enhance the capacity to process agricultural products in Louisiana including providing financial assistance to any person who owns, leases, or operates, or is seeking to own, lease, or operate an agricultural plant in this state, as the state's participation in cooperative endeavors involving the State Market Commission and any qualified applicant.
