Business & Industry
Memphis is fast becoming the distribution capital of the
nation, a position attained by the fortuitous convergence of air, rail, river and highway
modes of transportation in the city. In addition to the city's burgeoning distribution
business, Memphis is also a major center for medicine, biomedical research and related
industries in such fields as pharmaceuticals and biomedical engineering. Also, because of
its position as the nexus for a 105-county agricultural area, Memphis is a major trading,
distribution, manufacturing and exporting center for agricultural goods and commodities.
