Louisiana produces 90% of the United States crawfish. Most of the farmed crawfish comes from rice fields in one small area of Cajun country. There, the industry is fairly new. In the 1980s, rice farmers experimented with cultivating crawfish in their fields. And it paid off. Today, business is booming, clearing the way for the next generation of farmers like Madison McIntyre. But the industry is also unregulated and fast-moving, trapping producers in an endless fight to keep crawfish alive. 0:00 Intro 1:21 How crawfish are farmed from rice fields 4:26 How crawfish are processed 8:30 The history of crawfish in Louisiana 9:23 How to prepare a Cajun crawfish boil 10:34 The future of Louisiana’s farmed crawfish industry MORE BIG BUSINESS VIDEOS: Inside the US Factory Making Ukraine’s Most Important Ammo | Big Business | Insider Business Why Coconut Farmers Risk Their Lives To Feed The World's Superfood Obsession | Big Business How Tabasco Fills Up To 700,000 Hot Sauce Bottles A Day | Big Business | Insider Business ------------------------------------------------------ #louisiana #crawfish #bigbusiness Business Insider tells you all you need to know about business, finance, tech, retail, and more.
