3Economic Contributions of Agriculture, Natural Resource and Food Industries in Florida

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Collectively, the agriculture, natural resources, and food

industries are significant contributors to the economy of the State of Florida. The economic contributions of these industries were evaluated for calendar year 2018 to update previous reports from the Economic Impact Analysis Program and to provide the most recent information for the purpose of informed public policy.

Licensed IMPLAN© regional economic modeling software and associated Florida state and county databases (IMPLAN© Group LLC) for 2018 were used to estimate the total economic contributions of selected industry sectors associated with agriculture, natural resources, and the broader food system. Analyses of this type capture not only the direct economic activity occurring within these industries, but the indirect activity supported throughout the regional economy via supply chain relationships and induced activity supported by the re-spending of household income. This analysis includes 120 industry sectors that represent the broad array of activities encompassed by commodity production, manufacturing, distribution, and supporting services associated with agriculture and food as well as natural-resources management. Economic contributions are measured in terms of employment, industry output, value added, exports, labor income, other property income, and business taxes.

A glossary of economic terms is provided in Appendix A for reference. The overall economic contributions of Florida’s agriculture, natural resources, and food industries in 2018 are summarized in Table ES1:

• Direct employment of 1.72 million full-time and part-time jobs, and total employment contributions (including multiplier effects in other sectors) of 2.42 million jobs, representing 19.9 percent of the state workforce.

• Direct industry output or sales revenues of $175.08 billion, and total output contributions of $296.29 billion.

• Foreign and domestic exports of $38.88 billion that bring new money into the Florida economy.

• Total value added contributions of $149.57 billion, representing 14.5 percent of Gross State Product (equivalent to Gross Domestic Product).

• Total labor income contributions of $91.07 billion, which includes employee wages, fringe benefits, and proprietor income.

• Total other property income contributions of $43.69 billion representing rents, dividends, interest, royalties, etc.

• Total local, state and federal government tax contribu-tions on production and imports of $14.82 billion.

Across the various industry groups, total employment and value added contributions were largest for:

• Food and kindred products distribution (1.72 million jobs; $101.39 billion), which includes food service establishments and retail food stores.

• Agricultural inputs and services (244,079 jobs; $13.44 billion),

• Crop, livestock, forestry, and fisheries production (167,878 jobs; $8.63 billion),

• Food and kindred product manufacturing (139,951 jobs; $14.28 billion),

• Mining (64,841 jobs; $4.99 billion),• Forest product manufacturing (47,891 jobs; $5.23

billion), and • Nature-based recreation – golf courses (34,650 jobs;

$1.60 billion).

Excluding the Food and kindred products distribution industry group, the total value-added contributions were $48.18 billion (4.7% of Gross State Product), and the employment contributions were 699,289 jobs (5.8% of state workforce).

Industry-level economic contribution estimates were also aggregated into seven agricultural commodity groups that have identifiable market-chain linkages between production and processing/manufacturing sectors. Resulting total employment and value added contributions for these commodity groups include:

• Environmental horticulture (186,857 jobs; $9.57 billion) • Forestry and forest products manufacturing (55,103 jobs;

$5.69 billion), • Grain and oilseed farming and processing (51,153 jobs;

$3.12 billion), • Fruit and vegetable farming and processing (37,722 jobs;

$2.81 billion), • Livestock farming and animal products manufacturing

(23,967 jobs; $1.95 billion), • Sugarcane farming and refining (12,602 jobs; $1.31

billion), and • Fishing and seafood products (10,186 jobs; $603 million).

Geographically, the size and composition of agriculture, natural resources, and food industries varies dramatically across the state of Florida due to differences in climate, natural resource endowments, population, and settlement patterns. The largest economic contributions occur in the major metropolitan areas of Miami-Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando, Tampa-St. Petersburg, Sarasota-Bradenton, and Jacksonville, where there are large demands for food and kindred products, and a large workforce available (Figure ES1).

The seven largest counties in terms of total employment and value added contributions were Miami-Dade (284,970 jobs; $20.56 billion), Orange (210,216 jobs; $13.46 billion), Broward (189,694 jobs; $11.92 billion), Palm Beach (190,808 jobs; $15.08 billion), Hillsborough (174,709 jobs; $11.35 billion), Duval (116,987 jobs; $8.47 billion) and Pinellas (102,441 jobs; $5.72 billion), as mapped in Figure ES2.

Additional detailed information on economic contributions by industry group and sector in individual Florida counties is available in Appendix C. During the ten year period of 2009 to 2018, direct employment in Florida’s agriculture, natural resources, and food industries increased by 34.9 percent, or an average annual rate of 3.9 percent (9 years change), and

4 Economic Contributions of Agriculture, Natural Resource and Food Industries in Florida

total value added contributions grew by 24.6 percent, or 2.7 percent annually, in inflation adjusted terms (Figure ES3).

Growth in total employment contributions during this period was highest for Mining (117.6%), Food and kindred products manufacturing (40.6%), Food and kindred products distribution (37.6%), Nature-based recreation (34.5%), Forest products manufacturing (23.1%) and Agricultural inputs and services (22.2%), while employment contributions remained nearly the same in Crop, livestock, forestry and fisheries production (0.6%) due to changes in labor markets and automation technology. Complete information on trends in economic contributions for all industry groups and sectors over the 2009-18 period are provided in Appendix B.

INTRODUCTION Agriculture, natural resources, and food industries

represent a broad set of economic activities generating employment and income, and producing goods and services that contribute to the economic growth and development of Florida and the United States. Florida has over 7 million acres of cropland, pasture and grazing land, and grassland used in agricultural production1, and 17 million acres of forestland2 that together occupy about 63 percent of the state’s land area (USDA-FIA, 2019). The state has a sub-tropical climate that enables production of an immense variety of food, fiber, mineral, and ornamental commodities. The unrefined commodities are converted into finished products by the food and kindred product manufacturing industries, and finished goods then move through the wholesale and retail distribution chain to final consumers or to other industry sectors as intermediate goods for further value-added processing. These industries are also linked to a broad array of allied suppliers that provide production inputs and supporting services. In addition, farmlands, timberlands, and other undeveloped natural lands provide an array of opportunities for nature-based recreation and eco-tourism. Thus, the chain of agricultural and related food industry activities encompasses “farm to table” and beyond. The purpose of this study is to estimate the economic contributions of agriculture, natural resource, and food

industries based activities to the state of Florida. Economic contribution analysis assesses the value of existing activities or industries within the overall economy of a region, such as a state or county. Any activity that generates payments has an effect on other parts of a given economy, and any expenditure by one entity becomes income to another entity. In economic contribution analysis, these secondary effects are measured through economic multipliers for each type of activity (industry sector) obtained from regional economic models. Assessment of the economic contributions of specific industries to the economy of Florida is important to making informed public policy decisions regarding economic and community development, job creation, environmental regulation, labor and human resources, and taxation, among other issues. This report provides estimates of the economic contributions to the State of Florida in 2018 by a set of broadly defined industries comprising agriculture, natural resources, and related food and kindred product manufacturing and distribution activities. This report updates a series of previous studies completed for years 2007 through 2016 (Court, Hodges, and Rahmani, 2018; Hodges, Rahmani and Court, 2017; Hodges, Rahmani, and Stevens 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013; Hodges and Rahmani, 2012, 2011; Hodges, Rahmani, and Mulkey, 2010).

METHODS This analysis employs licensed IMPLAN© software and

Florida state/county databases for 2009 to 2018 (IMPLAN Group, LLC 2019). Data are derived from the National Income and Product Accounts for the United States (U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis), the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics), Census of Agriculture (U.S. Department of Agriculture), and numerous other sources. IMPLAN© characterizes over 500 industry sectors, of which 120 sectors were identified as related to agriculture, natural resources, and food industries for basic commodity production, allied input supply and supporting services, food and kindred product manufacturing, forest product manufacturing, food and kindred product distribution, and nature-based recreation.

For the 2018 data release, IMPLAN© included some changes in the disaggregation level of some products that also implied changes to the methodology as compared with past reports. Three main differences include:

• Oil and gas extraction (previously sector 20) has been disaggregated into two sectors Extraction of natural gas and crude petroleum (20) and Extraction of natural gas liquids (21).

• Copper, nickel, lead, and zinc mining (previously sector 22) has been disaggregated into two sectors Lead and zinc ore mining (26) and Copper ore mining (27).

• Wholesale Trade (previously sector 395) was split into 10 sectors in the new scheme:

– Wholesale: Motor vehicle and motor vehicle parts and supplies

– Wholesale: Professional and commercial equipment and supplies

– Wholesale: Household appliances and electrical and electronic goods

– Wholesale: Machinery, equipment, and supplies – Wholesale: Other durable goods merchant wholesalers

– Wholesale: Drugs and druggists’ sundries – Wholesale: Grocery and related product wholesalers – Wholesale: Petroleum and petroleum products – Wholesale: Other nondurable goods merchant wholesalers

– Wholesale: Wholesale electronic markets and agents and brokers

Previously, the portions of the Wholesale trade sector that were associated with agriculture, natural resources, or food were identified using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. For 2018, we include sector 398 (Wholesale - Grocery and related product wholesalers) in its entirety and sector 400 (Other nondurable goods merchant wholesalers) is as in previous versions split to include some activities associated

with agriculture, natural resources, and food. Pest control services, retail lawn and garden centers, and golf courses, were still reclassified from their original major industry group designation under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) to be included as part of the broadly defined agriculture and food-related industries. The rationale for including processing or manufacturing industries in this analysis is that they share a common dependence upon the agricultural and natural resource base, and would not exist in the state if not for the basic production activities. Food and kindred product distribution sectors, such as wholesalers, food stores, and restaurants, although not strictly dependent upon Florida’s agricultural production and natural resources, were also included in the analysis because they are the endpoint of the market chain for the delivery of agricultural and food products to final consumers. Economic contribution estimates were also re-grouped.

The IMPLAN© 2018 release marks the first year of incorporating data from the newly released 2017 Census of Agriculture.

IMPLAN© enables construction of input-output models and social accounting matrices that represent the structure of a regional economy in terms of transactions among industry sectors, households, and governments. Regional economic models were developed for the State of Florida and for all 67 counties in the state using the IMPLAN© software and Florida state-county data package for 2018. Models were constructed with specifications for the commodity tradeflows gravity model representing the share of commodities purchased from local sources, and social-institutional accounts for households treated as endogenous within the models. The state level model was modified within IMPLAN© for multi-industry economic contribution analysis (Cheney, 2016). Note that this approach differs from previous reports for 2009 through 2016, so results presented here do not match with those previously reported. Also note that the IMPLAN© industry sectoring scheme was revised in 2013, so some industries were regrouped to evaluate trends over the entire period.

The IMPLAN© model includes accounts for industrial and commodity production, employment, labor and property income, household and institutional consumption, domestic and international trade (imports, exports), government taxes, transfer payments (such as welfare and retirement), and capital investment. Economic multipliers are estimated for each industry to estimate the indirect and induced contributions of activity in the agriculture, natural resource, and food industries (Miller and Blair, 2009). Indirect effects represent the economic activity supported within specific supply chains through the purchase of intermediate inputs from vendor firms outside of the 120 sectors of interest. Induced effects represent the contributions of spending by


households. The total economic contributions were calculated as the sum of direct, indirect, and induced effects. Results are referred to as “economic contributions,” as opposed to “economic impacts” because they represent the ongoing economic activity of existing industries, rather than a net change in activity resulting from external influences (Watson et al. 2007). Different measures of economic contributions reported here include industry output or revenue (sales), employment (full-time, part-time, and seasonal positions), value added, labor income, other property type income, and government taxes. Value added is a broad measure of net economic activity that is comparable to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and represents the sum of labor and other property type income, taxes on production and imports, and capital consumption (depreciation). Information on economic contributions was developed for the state of Florida, nine multi-county regions, and 67 individual counties. The multi-county regions encompass one or more core urban areas and adjacent nonmetropolitan counties that are economically linked by employee commuting patterns and media markets, as defined by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (Johnson and Kort 2004). It should be noted that some counties in north Florida that are part of economic areas in Georgia were regrouped with Florida regions for this

analysis. State level estimates were proportionally allocated to counties based on county-level direct employment, output and value added in each industry sector. County level results were then aggregated to the nine multi-county regions. For some industry activities that represent only a portion of an IMPLAN© industry sector, values were estimated as a share of their parent sector based on employment data from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics) for 2018: Wholesale food distribution included in sector 400 (Wholesale - Other nondurable goods merchant wholesalers) was 44.3% of the whole sector, Pest control services were 17.0 percent of Services to buildings, Retail lawn-and-garden centers were 7.3 percent of Building materials and garden equipment and supplies, and Golf courses were 43.3 percent of Other amusement and recreation industries. Reported employment figures represent all full-time, part-time, and temporary or seasonal jobs, rather than fulltime equivalent employees. All monetary values were expressed in 2018 U.S. dollars using the annual average Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Implicit Price Deflators, which account for the effects of price changes in the measurement of GDP (U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis).


ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTIONS BY INDUSTRY GROUPS AND SECTORS

Results. Economic contributions of agriculture, natural resources, and food industries in Florida for 2018 are summarized in Table 1 and Figures 1-4. The industries are categorized in seven major groups: 1) Crop, Livestock, Forestry, and Fisheries Production; 2) Agricultural Inputs and Services; 3) Food and Kindred Products Manufacturing; 4) Forest Products Manufacturing; 5) Food and Kindred Products Distribution; 6) Mining; and 7) Nature-based Recreation. Results are reported for each industry group and the largest individual industry sectors within each group. Direct industry output or sales revenues in 2018 were $175.08 billion, and output contributions, including regional multiplier effects in other sectors, were estimated at $296.29 billion. Direct employment was 1.716 million full-time and part-time jobs, and the total employment contribution was 2.417 million jobs. Direct value added was $83.56 billion and the total value added contribution to Gross State Product (GSP) was $149.57 billion. Foreign and domestic exports of goods and services from Florida were $38.88 billion. Total labor income contributions were $91.07 billion, representing employee wages, benefits and business proprietor income. Total other property type income contributions, such as rents, interest, royalties, and dividends, were $43.69 billion. Total local, state, and federal government tax contributions for production and imports were $14.82 billion (Table 1).

Crop, livestock, forestry, and fisheries production includes sectors that produce basic unrefined food, and fiber commodities. In 2018, direct output of these sectors was $10.16 billion, exports were $4.13 billion, and total output contributions were $15.43 billion (Table 1, Figure 2). Direct employment was 137,790 jobs and total employment contributions were 167,878 jobs (Table 1, Figure 3). Total value added contributions were $8.63 billion (Table 1, Figure 4), total labor income contributions were $5.70 billion, total other property type-income contributions were $2.59 billion, and total contributions from taxes on production and imports were $342 million. Among individual industry sectors in this group, those with the highest total value added contributions were support activities for agriculture and forestry ($2.41 billion), greenhouse, nursery, and floriculture production ($1.58 billion), vegetable and melon farming ($814 million), and fruit farming ($785 million including citrus, blueberries and tropical fruits). A second tier of sectors with large total value-added contributions were other crop farming ($614 million), sugarcane farming ($551 million) and commercial fishing ($365 million). Sectors with the highest total employment contributions were support activities for agriculture and forestry (54,807 jobs), greenhouse, nursery, and floriculture production (24,814 jobs), fruit farming (14,166 jobs), vegetable and melon farming (12,588 jobs) and all other

crop farming (29,160 jobs). Other sectors were commercial fishing (6,749 jobs), and sugarcane farming (5,883 jobs). Significant total value added and total employment contributions were also generated by the sectors commercial logging ($322 million;5,018 jobs), beef cattle ranching and farming ($312 million; 4,825 jobs), animal production except cattle and poultry ($292 million; 2,715 jobs), dairy cattle and milk production ($176 million; 2,007 jobs), forestry, forest products, and timber tract production ($139 million; 2,194 jobs), and poultry and egg production ($123 million; 1,104 jobs).

Agricultural inputs and services includes a variety of sectors providing inputs or supporting services for agricultural operations, including landscape management. Sales revenues in 2018 for this group were $15.94 billion, including domestic and international

Nature-based recreation includes golf courses due to data limitations for other outdoor recreational activities.. In 2018, this industry in Florida had a direct output of $1.46 billion, exports or sales to Florida visitors of $621 million, total output contributions of $2.86 billion, direct employment of 26,428 jobs, total employment contributions of 34,650 jobs, total value added contributions of $1.60 billion, total labor income contributions of $1.21 billion, total other property type income contributions of $271 million, and total contributions from taxes on production and imports of $119 million (Table 1, Figures 2-4). Note that these estimates do not include recreational use of public beaches or other outdoor resources in Florida because data were not available to reliably estimate economic contributions for these activities.


Food and kindred products distribution includes activities for wholesale and retail trade in agricultural, food, and related products. This group of industry sectors is only indirectly related to agriculture and natural resources because it serves to deliver products from Florida and other locations to final consumers, but is included in this analysis for perspective on the scope of the complex market chain for food and kindred products. In 2018, this industry group in Florida had a direct output of $100.86 billion, and total output contributions of $182.614 billion. It had direct employment of 1.239 million jobs, and generated total employment contributions of 1.718 million jobs. Total value added contributions were $101.39 billion, total labor income contributions were $61.68 billion, total other property type income contributions were $28.16 billion, and total contributions from taxes on production and imports were $11.55 billion (Table 1, Figures 2-4). Collectively, this group represented 68 percent of total value added contributions and 71 percent of total employment contributions for all agriculture, natural resources, and food industries included in this analysis. Among individual sectors

within this group, the largest total value added contributions were for full-service restaurants ($30.43 billion) and limited-service restaurants ($22.08 billion) followed by retail food and beverage stores ($15.22 billion), wholesale trade of groceries and related products ($11.98 billion), and all other food and drinking places ($11.63 million). The largest total employment contributions were generated by full-service restaurants (573,884 jobs), limited-service restaurants (445,859 jobs), and retail food and beverage stores (274,165 jobs).

Excluding sectors for food and kindred products distribution, all other agriculture, natural resources, and food industries had $74.24 billion in direct output, total output contributions of $113.68 billion, direct employment of 477,860 jobs, total employment contributions of 699,289 jobs, total value added contributions of $48.18 billion, total labor income contributions of $29.38 billion, total other property type income contributions of $15.53 billion, and total contributions from taxes on production and imports of $3.27 billion (Table 1).

ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTIONS BY AGRICULTURAL COMMODITY GROUPS

In addition to the industry groups noted above, information on economic contributions was compiled for groups of food and fiber commodities having identifiable market-chain linkages between producers, manufacturers, and service sectors. Results for total output, value added and employment contributions are summarized in Figures 5- 7. Environmental horticulture, which includes greenhouse, nursery and floriculture production, landscape services, and retail lawn and garden centers, had combined total output contributions of $16.94 billion, total value added contributions of $9.57 billion and total employment contributions of 186,857 jobs. Fruit and vegetable farming and processing, including sectors for fruit farming, vegetable and melon farming, canned fruits and vegetables manufacturing, and frozen fruits, juices, and vegetables manufacturing, had total output contributions of $6.86 billion, total value added contributions of $2.81 billion and total employment contributions of 37,722 jobs. Forestry and forest products, which includes 20 sectors, had combined total output contributions of $14.41 billion, total value

added contributions of $5.69 billion, and total employment contributions of 55,103 jobs. Grain and oilseed farming and processing had total output contributions of $7.50 billion, total value added contributions of $3.12 billion, and total employment contributions 51,153 jobs. Livestock farming and animal products manufacturing, including dairy cattle and milk production, beef cattle ranching and farming, poultry and egg production, animal production except cattle and poultry, poultry processing, fluid milk manufacturing, cheese manufacturing, and ice cream and frozen desert manufacturing, had total output contributions of $6.79 billion, total value added contributions of $1.95 billion, and total employment contributions of 23,967 jobs. Sugarcane farming and refined sugar and confections had total output contributions of $3.46 billion, total value added contributions of $1.31 billion, and total employment contributions of 12,602 jobs. Fishing and seafood products had total output contributions of $1.39 billion, total value added contributions of $603 million, and total employment contributions of 10,186 jobs.

ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTIONS IN FLORIDA REGIONS AND COUNTIES

Economic contributions of agriculture, natural resources, and food industries in 2018 were evaluated for all 67 Florida counties and for the nine multi-county economic areas shown in Figure 8, with results summarized in Tables 2-3, and Figures 9–13. Total value added and employment contributions were highest in the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale region ($53.70 billion; 773,444 jobs), followed by Orlando ($35.93 billion; 612,730 jobs), Tampa-St. Petersburg ($19.59 billion; 327,713 jobs), Sarasota-Bradenton ($15.07 billion; 257,709 jobs), Jacksonville ($12.51 billion; 186,958 jobs), Gainesville ($3.73 billion; 69,550 jobs), Tallahassee ($3.34 billion; 60,732 jobs), Pensacola ($3.32 billion; 90,160 jobs), and Panama City ($2.39 billion; 38,063 jobs), as shown in Figures 9-10. Among individual Florida counties, the nine largest in terms of total employment and value added contributions in 2018 were Miami-Dade (284,970 jobs; $20.56 billion), Orange (210,216 jobs; $13.46 billion), Palm Beach (190,808 jobs; $15.08 billion), Broward (189,964 jobs; $11.92 billion), Hillsborough (174,709 jobs; $11.35 billion), Duval (116,987 jobs; $8.47 billion), Pinellas (102,441 jobs; $5.72 billion), Lee (81,038 jobs; $4.75 billion) and Polk (78,666 jobs; $5.50 billion), as shown in Table 2.

Twenty additional counties had total value added contributions exceeding $1 billion in 2018, including Collier

($3.29 billion), Volusia ($3.12 billion), Manatee ($2.94 billion), Seminole ($2.86 billion), Brevard ($2.63 billion), Sarasota ($2.79 billion), Escambia ($1.93 billion), Lake ($1.93 billion), Pasco ($1.89 billion), Marion ($1.84 billion), Osceola ($1.83 billion), Alachua ($1.78 billion), Leon ($1.68 billion), St. Johns ($1.59 billion), Bay ($1.57 billion), St. Lucie ($1.50 billion), Okaloosa ($1.35 billion), Martin ($1.33 billion), Monroe ($1.06 billion) and Indian River ($1.01 billion).

In addition to the top nine counties listed above, 40 counties had total employment contributions of 10,000 jobs or greater. Employment contributions by industry group in regions and counties are shown in Table 3. Thematic maps of the total employment and value added contributions in Florida counties are shown in Figures 12 and 13, respectively. Note that although the economic contributions of agriculture, natural resources, and food industries may be smaller in absolute terms in rural counties in the northern part of the state and interior of the Florida peninsula, these contributions are more important in relative terms because these industries represent a higher share of total economic activity. Additional detailed information on economic contributions of specific industries in individual Florida counties is provided in Appendix B.

SHARE OF FLORIDA GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT AND EMPLOYMENT

The relative importance of agriculture, natural resources, and food industries in Florida can be gauged by their share of overall economic activity in the state, regions, and counties. Among 17 major industry groups, agriculture, natural resources, and food industries were ranked first in Florida in terms of direct employment, and were second only to the real estate and rental sector in terms of direct value added or Gross State Product (GSP) in 2018 (Table 4). Direct employment in agriculture, natural resources, and food industries (1.72 million jobs) represented 14.2 percent of total employment in the state (12.12 million jobs), and total employment contributions of the industry (2.30 million jobs) represented 19.9 percent of all Florida jobs. The GSP of agriculture, natural resources, and food industries ($83.56 billion) represented 8.1 percent of GSP ($1,032 billion), and the total value added contributions of the industry, including

regional multiplier effects ($149.57 billion), represented 14.5 percent of GSP. Excluding the Food and kindred products distribution industry group, total contributions of agriculture, natural resources, and food industries represented 4.7 percent of GSP and 5.8 percent of state employment. The share of total employment and value added contributions of agriculture, natural resources, and food industries in Florida counties in 2018 are presented in Table 5. Total employment contributions represented over 20 percent of total workforce employment in 54 of 67 counties and total value added contributions represented over 20 percent of gross regional product (GRP) in 34 counties. The ten counties with the highest share of total employment contributions were Hamilton (65.3%), Glades (64.0%), Hendry (62.2%), Hardee (58.8%), Taylor (51.9%), Liberty (46.1%), Suwannee (45.8%), Dixie (45.2%), Gilchrist (44.8%) and DeSoto (44.6%).

TRENDS IN ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTIONS OVER TIME

In addition to the current economic contributions made to the state of Florida by agriculture, natural resources, and food industries in 2018, it is important to understand how these values have changed over time. Trends in the economic contributions for industry groups and agricultural commodity groups over the ten year period between 2009 and 2018 are shown in Figures 16-22 and Table 6. All monetary values were adjusted for inflation to express in constant 2018 U.S. dollars. Note that trends may reflect changes in commodity prices, the structure of Florida’s economy, and the business cycles of the national and global economies, as well as inherent growth and development in the industry. Note that Hurricane Irma had a significant statewide impact on Florida's agriculture, natural resource, and food industries in 2017 as it traveled directly up the peninsula. Hurricane Michael also brought devastation to these industries in parts of the Florida panhandle in 2018. Direct industry output (sales revenues) for all agriculture, natural resources, and food industry groups increased by 13.9 percent over the 2009-18 period, adjusted for inflation, representing an average annual rate of 1.4 percent (9 years of change). During the last year (2017-18) direct output increased 8.5 percent. Among individual agriculture industry groups, growth in direct output during 2009-18 was highest for Mining (48.5%) and, also, Food and Kindred Products Distribution (34.1%). Increases were also seen in Food and Kindred Products Manufacturing (18.0%) and Forest products manufacturing (15.2%). Decreases were seen in all other sectors: Nature-Based recreation – golf courses (-4.5%), Crop, livestock, forestry and fisheries production (-11.8%), and Agricultural Inputs & Services (14.1%), as shown in Figure 16 and Table 5. Total employment contributions by the agriculture, natural resources, and food industry increased by 608,371 jobs during 2009-18, representing an increase of 33.6 percent or 3.7 percent annually. Overall growth in employment contributions was above average for Mining (117.6%), Food and kindred product manufacturing (40.6%), Food & kindred products distribution (37.6%), Agricultural inputs and services (45.9%), and, Nature-based recreation – golf courses (34.5%) but was below average for, Forest products manufacturing (23.1%), Agricultural Inputs & Services (22.2%) and Crop, livestock, forestry and fisheries production (0.6%), as shown in Figure 17. Overall, total value added contributions, in real terms, grew by 27.9 percent or 3.1 percent annually during 2009-18. Among industry groups, growth in total value added contributions was highest for Mining (66,7%), Food and kindred products distribution (30.3%), Forest product manufacturing (18.6%), Food and kindred products manufacturing (15.3%) and, followed by Agricultural inputs and services (13.0%) and while it decreased Crop, livestock, forestry, fisheries production (-2.7%) and Nature-based recreation – Golf courses (-6.1%), as shown in Figure 18. Among agricultural commodity groups, growth in direct

industry output during 2009-18 was highest for grain and oilseed farming and processing (139.1%), followed by fishing and seafood products (59.0%) and environmental horticulture (28.3%), livestock farming and animal products manufacturing (13.0%) and forestry and forest products manufacturing (5.7%), but was negative for sugarcane farming and refining (- 2.1%) and fruit and vegetable farming and processing (– 37.4%), as shown in Figure 19. Growth in domestic and international exports of agricultural commodity groups during 2009-18 was led by grain and oilseed farming and processing (260%) and fishing and seafood products (84.8%), followed by livestock farming and animal products manufacturing (60.2%), environmental horticulture (15.8%), forestry and forest products manufacturing (14.5%), and sugarcane farming and refining (12.9%), while fruit and vegetable farming and processing declined (-29.1%), as shown in Figure 20. Increased exports represent new final demand to the Florida economy, bringing in new dollars to be re-spent and support economic development. In terms of employment contributions, grain and oilseed farming and processing showed the highest growth of (318.9%) during 2009 to 2018, followed by fishing and seafood products (164.7%), livestock farming and animal products manufacturing (90.2%), sugarcane farming, and refining (22.5%), and forestry and forest products manufacturing (18.8%), however, decreases were seen for environmental horticulture (- 18.6%) and fruit and vegetable farming and processing (- 41.4%), as shown in Figure 21. For value added contributions, there were large increases during 2009-18 for grain and oilseed farming and processing (145.8%) and fishing and seafood products (60.8%), followed by environmental horticulture (37.7 %), sugarcane farming and refining (26.1%), livestock farming and animal products manufacturing (18.7%), and forestry and forest product manufacturing (14.9%), but declines were seen for fruit and vegetable farming and processing (-43.8%), as shown in Figure 22. Trends over 2009-18 in direct employment and output by individual industry sectors are shown in Appendix A. Individual industries within the Crop, livestock, forestry, and fisheries production group with large increases in direct output were grain farming (281%), all other crop farming (241%), commercial fishing (136%), animal production, except cattle and poultry and eggs (95%), Sugarcane and sugar beet farming (28%) and cotton farming (27%). Agricultural input and support industry sectors with large growth were lawn and garden equipment manufacturing (380%), farm machine and equipment (83%) and veterinary services (33%), though lawn/garden equipment was quite small sector in 2009. Mining industry sectors with high growth were mining coal ($76 million output in 2018 compared to $7 million in 2009), and oil and gas extraction (31.8%). Food and kindred product manufacturing industry sectors with large growth were Dog and Cat Food Manufacturing (1044%), tortilla manufacturing


(540%), Dry, condensed, and evaporated dairy product manufacturing (432%), Soybean and other oilseed processing (344%), Flavoring syrup and concentrate manufacturing (337%) and fats and oils refining and blending (260%). Forest

product manufacturing industry sectors with large growth were reconstituted wood products (190%), Engineered wood member and truss manufacturing (275%), and all other miscellaneous wood product manufacturing (87%).

APPENDIX AContribution (economic) measures the gross economic

activity associated with an industry, event, or policy in an existing regional economy.

Employee compensation is comprised of wages, salaries, commissions, and benefits such as health and life insurance, retirement, and other forms of cash or non-cash compensation.

Employment is a measure of the number of jobs involved, including full-time, part-time, and seasonal positions. It is not a measure of full-time equivalents (FTE).

Exports are sales of goods to customers outside the region in which they are produced, which represents a net inflow of money to the region. This also applies to sales of goods and services to customers visiting from other regions.

Final Demand represents sales to final consumers, including households, governments, and exports from the region.

Gross Regional Product is a measure of economic activity in a region, or total income generated by all goods and services. It equals the total value added by all industries in that region, and is equivalent to Gross Domestic Product for the nation.

IMPLAN© is a computer-based input-output modeling system that enables users to create regional economic models and multipliers for any region consisting of one or more counties or states in the United States. The current version of the IMPLAN© software, IMPLAN Pro, accounts for commodity production and consumption for over 500

industry sectors, 10 household income levels, taxes to local/state and federal governments, capital investment, imports and exports, transfer payments, and business inventories. Regional datasets for individual counties or states are purchased separately. The IMPLAN© software and regional data are licensed by IMPLAN© Group, LLC, Huntersville, NC.

Imports are purchases of goods and services originating outside the region of analysis.

Income is the money earned within the region from production and sales. Total income includes labor income such as wages, salaries, employee benefits, and business proprietor income, plus other property income.

Input-Output (I-O) model and Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) is a representation of the transactions between industry sectors within a regional economy that captures what each sector purchases from every other sector to produce its output of goods or services. Using such a model, flows of economic activity associated with any change in spending or employment may be traced backwards through the supply chain.

Local refers to goods and services that are sourced from within the region, which may be defined as a county, multi-county cluster, or state.

Non-local refers to economic activity originating outside the region.

Margins represent the portion of the purchaser price accruing to the retailer, wholesaler, and producer/manufacturer in the supply chain. Typically, only the retail


margins of many goods purchased by consumers accrue to the local region, as the wholesaler, shipper, and manufacturer often lie outside the local area.

Multipliers capture the total effects, both direct and secondary, in a given region, generally as a ratio of the total change in economic activity in the region relative to the direct change. Multipliers are derived from an I-O model of the regional economy. Multipliers may be expressed as ratios of sales, income, or employment, or as ratios of total income or employment changes relative to direct sales. Multipliers express the degree of interdependency between sectors in a region’s economy and therefore vary considerably across regions and sectors. A sector-specific multiplier gives the total changes to the economy associated with a unit change in output or employment in a given sector (i.e., the direct or initial economic effect) being evaluated. Indirect effects multipliers represent the changes in sales, income, or employment within the region in backward-linked industries supplying goods and services to businesses (e.g., increased sales in input supply firms resulting from more industry sales). Induced effects multipliers represent the increased sales within the region from household spending of the income earned in the direct and supporting industries for housing, utilities, food, etc. An imputed multiplier is calculated as the ratio of the total impact divided by direct effect for any given measure (e.g., output, employment).

Other property type income represents income received from investments such as corporate dividends, royalties, property rentals, or interest on loans.

Output is the dollar value of a good or service produced or sold, and is equivalent to sales revenues plus changes in business inventories.

Producer prices are the prices paid for goods at the factory or point of production. For manufactured goods, the purchaser price equals the producer price plus a retail margin, a wholesale margin, and a transportation margin. For services, the producer and purchaser prices are equivalent.

Proprietor income is income received by non-incorporated private business owners or self-employed individuals.

Purchaser prices are the prices paid by the final consumer of a good or service.

Region or Regional Economy is the geographic area and the economic activity it contains for which contributions are estimated. It may consist of an individual county, an aggregation of several counties, a state, or aggregation of states. These aggregations are sometimes defined on the basis of worker commuting patterns.

Sector is an individual industry or group of industries that produce similar products or services, or have similar production processes. Sectors are classified according to the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS).

Taxes on Production and Imports are taxes paid to governments by individuals or businesses for property, excise, and sales taxes, but do not include income taxes.

Value Added is a broad measure of income, representing the sum of employee compensation, proprietor income, other property type income, indirect business taxes, and capital consumption (depreciation). Value added is a commonly used measure of the contribution of an industry to a regional economy because it avoids double counting of intermediate sales.
