Food in South Carolina

Poultry, beef cattle, dairy products, soybeans and hogs are the main food industries in South Carolina.

Peaches, corn and other fruits are also grown in the fertile farmland. South Carolina is one of the main producers of peaches in the United States.

The first crop grown for profit in South Carolina was rice. Rice grew well in the swampy areas near the coast and it was cultivated as early as 1680s. There is a Rice Museum in Georgetown where you can learn about this cereal.
