Georgia's agriculture sector is best known for peaches (though the Peach State title is now contested with South Carolina), Vidalia onions (a federally protected sweet onion grown only in a specific South Georgia region), peanuts (Georgia produces 42% of US peanuts), broiler chickens (Gainesville is the poultry capital of the US), and blueberries (growing rapidly in the Southeast). Agricultural pallet demand in Georgia is concentrated in South Georgia (peanuts, vegetables), the Gainesville/Hall County poultry corridor, and the Vidalia onion growing region (Toombs, Montgomery, Wheeler, and adjacent counties). USDA AMS inspection requirements and FSMA produce safety rules govern pallet use at major packinghouses.
