Major food products include bread and pasta, frozen potato products and seed oils (flaxseed, sunflower seed). Dairy products include milk and cheddar cheese. Meat products are steaks and sausages.

Computer, electronic, fabricated metals and petroleum products, aircraft and motor vehicle parts are also manufactured in North Dakota.
- Agriculture: Supported by its extremely fertile soil, North Dakota's agricultural economy is much larger than most other states.

North Dakota also leads all other states in the production of barley and sunflower seeds and is a leader in the production of flaxseed (linseed oil). North Dakota is among the leading states in the production of canola seed, honey, navy beans, oats, pinto beans, rye, soybeans and sugar beets. Hay is important, grown for livestock feed.
