2 Executive Summary Agriculture, natural resources, and food industries remain a significant force in the economy of Florida and informed public policy demands recognition of the economic contributions of these industries. Economists at the University of Florida institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) evaluated the economic contributions of the agriculture, natural resources, and food industries for calendar year 2014 to update previous reports and provide current information on economic trends. The analysis described in this publication was conducted using the IMPLAN regional economic modeling system and associated state and county databases (IMPLAN Group LLC) to estimate economic multipliers and contributions for over 500 different industry sectors. Multipliers capture the indirect and induced economic activity generated by re-spending of income or sales revenues in a regional economy. The analysis included 121 industry sectors representing the broad array of activities encompassed by agricultural and natural-resource commodity production, manufacturing, distribution, and supporting services in Florida. Economic contributions can be measured in terms of employment, industry output, value, exports, labor income, other property income, and business taxes. A glossary of economic terms used in this report is provided following this summary. The economic contributions of Florida agriculture, natural resources, and food industries for 2014 are summarized in Table ES1, and include output or sales revenues of $ billion Foreign and domestic exports of $59.61 billion 1,565,167 full-time and part-time direct jobs in agriculture, natural resource, and food industries, representing 13.8 percent of all jobs in the state An additional 645,424 jobs indirectly connected to these industries for a total employment impact of 2,210,591 jobs, representing 19.2 percent of total state employment Total value impacts (including multiplier effects) of $ billion, representing 14.1 percent of Gross State Product Total labor income impacts of $77.19 billion, including employee wages, fringe benefits, and business proprietor income Total property income impacts of $37.28 billion, representing rents, dividends, interest, royalties, etc. Taxes on production and imports paid to local, state, and federal governments totaling $12.87 billion Across the various industry groups, total employment and value impacts were largest for the food and kindred products distribution (1.416 million jobs; $72.88 billion) which includes food service establishments (restaurants) and retail food stores, followed by agricultural inputs and services (269,421 jobs; $14.71billion); crop, livestock, forestry, and fisheries production (214,299 jobs; $14.78 billion); food and kindred product 1

3 manufacturing (144,385 jobs; $13.01 billion); forest product manufacturing (69,222 jobs; $6.02 billion); mining (58,313 jobs; $3.99 billion); and nature-based recreation (38,653 jobs; $1.95 billion). Excluding the food and kindred products distribution industry group, total value impacts represented 5.59 percent of Gross State Product and employment contributions were 6.03 percent of total state employment. Information on economic contributions was also evaluated for seven agricultural commodity groups that have identifiable market-chain linkages between production and processing/manufacturing sectors. The total employment and value contributions were highest for the environmental horticulture group (179,580 jobs; $8.85 billion); followed by fruit and vegetable farming and processing (81,477 jobs; $6.22 billion); forestry and forest products (77,621 jobs; $6.59 billion); livestock and dairy farming and animal products manufacturing (41,309 jobs; $2.78 billion); sugarcane farming and refined sugar manufacturing (17,633 jobs; $1.64 billion); fishing and seafood products (14,663 jobs; $873 million); and grain and oilseed farming and processing (3,439 jobs; $310 million). Geographically, the size and composition of agriculture, natural resources, and related food industries varies dramatically across the state of Florida due to differences in climate, natural resource endowments, and population and settlement patterns. The largest economic contributions occurred in the major metro 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 for the industry (Table ES1). The eight largest counties in terms of total employment and value impacts were Miami-Dade (237,198 jobs; $14.25 billion), Orange (180,412 jobs; $10.76 billion), Hillsborough; (165,789 jobs; $11.17 billion), Palm Beach (155,073 jobs; $9.18 billion), Broward (159,069 jobs; $8.31 billion), Duval (119,733 jobs; $8.22 billion), Polk (95,580 jobs; $6.651 billion), and Pinellas (79,858 jobs; $3.69 billion). Additional detailed information on economic contributions in individual Florida counties is available in the Appendix. employment in agriculture, natural resources, and food industries in Florida grew from million jobs in 2001 to a peak of million jobs in 2008, before declining during the Great Recession of 2009/10, and then recovering to million jobs in 2014 which was 24.9 percent higher than 2001, representing an average annual growth rate of 1.9 percent. Overall growth in industry contributions during this period reflected an increase in exports of Florida products to domestic and world markets. Average annual growth in employment contributions during was highest for mining (11.9%), followed by agricultural inputs and services (8.2%), and food and kindred products distribution (3.3%), while industry groups that had negative growth in employment contributions were forest products manufacturing (-0.01%);, food and kindred products manufacturing (-0.02%); crop, livestock, forestry, and fisheries production ( 1.2%); and nature-based recreation ( 4.7%). 2

5 Glossary of Economic Impact Terms Contribution (economic) represents the gross change in 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. 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). 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 total economic activity in a region, or total income generated by all goods and services. It equals the total value 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, version 3, accounts for commodity production and consumption for 536 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. Impact or total impact is the net change in total regional economic activity (e.g., output or employment) resulting from a change in final demand, direct industry output, or direct employment, estimated based on regional economic multipliers. 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. 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. Input- (I-O) model and Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) are representations of the transactions between industry sectors within a regional economy. They capture what each sector purchases from every other sector to produce that sector s output of goods or services. Using these models, 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. 4

6 Margins represent the portion of the purchaser price accruing to the retailer, wholesaler, shipper, and manufacturer in the supply chain. Typically, only the retail margins of many goods purchased by consumers accrue to the local region because 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 sectorspecific 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 nursery 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 income represents income received from investments, such as corporate dividends, royalties, property rentals, or interest on loans. 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 and the economic activity contained in a given geographic area for which impacts are estimated. The region may be an individual county, an aggregation of several counties, a state, or several states. These regions are sometimes defined on the basis of worker commuting patterns. Sectors are individual industries or groups of industries that produce similar products or services, or that have similar production processes. Sectors are classified according to the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS). is a broad measure of income, representing the sum of employee compensation, proprietor income, other property income, indirect business taxes, and capital consumption (depreciation). is a commonly used measure of the contribution of an industry to a regional economy because it avoids double counting of intermediate sales. 5

7 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 approximately 24 million acres (36,000 square miles) of forests, croplands, and ranches, occupying about two-thirds of the state s land area. The state has a sub-tropical climate that enables production of an immense variety of food, fiber, and mineral 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 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 ecotourism. 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 or impacts of agricultural and other natural resources-based activities to the state of Florida. Economic impact analysis assesses the effect of a new or present activity, industry, or event on the overall economy of a region such as a state, county, or city. Any activity that generates payments has an effect on other parts of a given economy. Any expenditure by one entity becomes income to another entity. As an analogy, a stone thrown into a lake generates waves that spread out in all directions. In economic impact 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 2014 by a set of broadly defined industries comprising agriculture, natural resources, and related food and kindred product manufacturing and distribution activities. It updates and continues a series of previous annual studies completed for years 2006 through 2013 (Hodges, Rahmani, and Stevens 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011; Hodges and Rahmani 2010, 2009; Hodges, Rahmani, and Mulkey 2008). 6

8 Methods Data for this analysis were obtained from the IMPLAN model and Florida state/county databases for the period licensed from IMPLAN Group LLC. The IMPLAN data were 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 and Wages (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics), and other sources. IMPLAN characterizes more than 500 industry sectors. More than 110 IMPLAN sectors were identified as related to the 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. Note that some industry sectors in this analysis were reclassified from their original major industry group designation under the North American 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 on 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 on 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 consumers. Economic contribution information was also re-grouped for several recognizable commodity groups that have strong linkages between agricultural production and processing/manufacturing sectors, as reflected in many vertically integrated firms or long-term supply contracts. These commodity groups included environmental horticulture (nursery and greenhouse production, landscape services, and retail garden centers); fishing and seafood products; forestry, logging, and forest product manufacturing; production and processing of fruits and vegetables; production and processing of grains and oilseeds; livestock production and animal products manufacturing; and, sugarcane farming and refined sugar manufacturing, The total regional economic impacts for the agriculture, natural resources, and food industry sectors were estimated using models developed with the IMPLAN software for social accounting and impact analysis (IMPLAN Group, LLC). This system 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 Models were constructed with econometrically estimated regional purchase coefficients representing the share of commodities purchased from local sources. Also, social-institutional accounts for households, local-state-federal governments, corporations, and capital investment were treated as endogenous within the models. 7

9 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 calculated for each industry to estimate the secondary effects of new demand that generates further economic activity as it is re-spent in the local economy (Miller and Blair 2009). Indirect effects multipliers represent the economic activity generated within specific supply chains through the purchase of intermediate inputs from vendor firms. Induced effects multipliers represent the impacts of spending by households of industry employees and by federal, state, and local government entities. The indirect and induced multipliers were applied only to foreign and domestic exports or to sales to visitors from outside the state of Florida which represent new money flowing into the regional economy, while direct effects multipliers only were applied to the outputs sold to instate markets. The total economic impacts were calculated as the sum of direct, indirect, and induced effects. Therefore, while the estimates of this analysis are referred to as economic impacts, these values may be better understood as economic contributions 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 impacts reported here include industry output or revenue (sales), employment (full-time and part-time or seasonal positions), value, labor income, other property income, and tax on production and imports. 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 income, taxes on production and imports, and capital consumption (depreciation). It is important to highlight the fact that estimating economic impacts on the basis of industry sales double-counts the sales from one level of the market chain to the next (e.g., sales of citrus juice products by processors includes the value of citrus fruit purchased from growers). Economic impact assessments based on value does not double-count because the value of intermediate inputs purchased from other sectors is netted-out. The glossary of economic impact analysis terminology explains these terms in detail. 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. Due to differences in trade flows and accounting adjustments at the state and county levels, slight discrepancies in regional results were reconciled by forcing county and regional estimates to match with state totals. For some industry activities that did not fit into a single IMPLAN industry sector, values were estimated as a share of their parent sector based on data from the 2007 Economic Census (U.S. Commerce Department) and 8

10 employment data from the Quarterly Census of and Wages (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics): wholesale food distribution was 24 percent of wholesale trade; pest control services were 17 percent of services to buildings; retail lawn-and-garden centers were 12 percent of building materials and garden equipment and supplies; golf courses and recreational fishing were 45 percent and 1 percent, respectively, 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 2014 U.S. dollars using the mid-year (July) indices for the GDP Implicit Price Deflator which accounts for the effects of price changes in the measurement of GDP (U.S. Commerce Department). Note that IMPLAN data were not available for The IMPLAN industry sectoring scheme was revised in 2007 and 2013 and, as a result, some industries were regrouped to evaluate trends over the entire period. Also note that previous results for 2001 to 2013 were revised, so findings presented here do not match with those previously reported (Hodges, Rahmani, and Stevens 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011; Hodges and Rahmani 2010, 2009; Hodges, Rahmani, and Mulkey 2008). 9

11 Results Economic Contributions by Groups and Sectors Economic contributions of agriculture, natural resources, and food industries in Florida for 2014 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 below for each industry group and individual industry sector. industry output or sales revenues for agriculture, natural resources, and food industries in 2014 were $ billion, and output impacts, including multiplier effects, were $ billion. Foreign and domestic exports of goods and services outside of Florida totaled $59.61 billion. employment in these industries was million full-time and part-time jobs, and total employment impacts (including multiplier effects) were estimated at million jobs. The direct value was $75.98 billion, and the total value contribution to GDP was $ billion. Total labor income impacts (employee wages, benefits, and business proprietor income) were $77.19 billion. Total other property income impacts, such as rents, interest, royalties and dividends, amounted to $37.28 billion. The total impact of taxes on production and imports paid to local, state, and federal governments was $12.87 billion (Table 1). Figure 1.

Forest products manufacturing is a group of industries that processes raw timber or wood into finished wood and paper products. In 2014, this industry group had direct output valued at $8.25 billion, exports of $5.67 billion, and total output impacts of $15.14 billion. This group had direct employment of 21,168 jobs which led to total employment impacts of 69,222 jobs. It generated direct value of $2.12 billion, total value impacts of $6.02 billion, total labor income impacts of $3.62 billion, total other property income impacts of $1.98 billion, and total impacts from taxes on production and imports of $424 million (Table 1, Figures 2 4). Leading sectors within this group in terms of value and employment impacts were paperboard container manufacturing ($1.06 billion; 12,654 jobs), sanitary paper products manufacturing ($1.00 billion; 9,127 jobs), pulp mills ($935 million; 9,790 jobs), and paperboard mills ($709 million; 7,616 jobs). Other sectors with significant value impacts included pulp mills ($555 Million); engineered wood member and truss manufacturing ($418 million); paper bag, coated and treated paper manufacturing ($285 million); stationary product manufacturing ($272 million); and sawmills ($188 million). Mining is a natural resource-based activity for the extraction of basic mineral commodities such as oil, natural gas, stone, sand, gravel, clay, phosphate, and a variety of metals. In 2014, the mining industries in Florida collectively had direct output of $6.93 billion, exports of $3.40 billion, and total output impacts of $11.41 billion. This industry group had direct employment of 27,156 jobs, total employment impacts of 58,313 jobs, direct value of $1.53 billion, total value impacts of $3.99 billion, labor income impacts of $2.16 billion, other property income impacts of $1.50 billion, and taxes on production and imports impacts of $328 million (Table 1, Figures 2 4). The largest individual sector in terms of employment was extraction of natural gas and crude petroleum which generated total employment impacts of 22,562 jobs and value impacts of $531 million. 12

14 Other individual sectors with significant total value and employment impacts included phosphate rock mining ($1.30 billion; 10,995 jobs), stone mining and quarrying ($684 million; 6,374 jobs), and sand and gravel mining ($511 million; 5,389 jobs). Other minor sectors in this industry group were drilling oil and gas wells, support activities for oil and gas operations, other nonmetallic minerals, and other metal ore mining. Nature-based recreation includes recreational activities generally tied to natural resources or managed landscapes such as golf and recreational fishing. In 2014, this industry group in Florida had a direct output of $1.70 billion; exports or sales to Florida visitors of $937 million, total output impacts of $3.36 billion, direct employment of 26,096 jobs, total employment impacts of 38,653 jobs, direct value of $972 million, total value impacts of $1.95 billion, labor income impacts of $1.26 billion, other property income impacts of $572 million, and taxes on production and imports impacts of $117 million (Table 1, Figures 2 4). Golf courses were the dominant sector in this group, with total value impacts of $1.95 billion and employment impacts of 38,566 jobs. Note that these estimates do not include recreational use of public beaches in Florida. 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 to final consumers, but it is included here for a perspective on the scope of the complex market chain for food and kindred products. In 2014, this industry group in Florida had a direct output of $82.69 billion, exports of $21.26 billion, and total output impacts of $ billion. It generated direct employment of 1,129,529 jobs, total employment impacts of 1,416,299 jobs, direct value of $50.44 billion, total value impacts of $72.88 billion, total labor income impacts of $45.31 billion, other property income impacts of $18.47 billion, and taxes on production and imports impacts of $9.09 billion (Table 1, Figures 2 4). Collectively, this group represented about 57 percent of total value impacts and 64 percent of total employment impacts for all industries included in this report. Among individual sectors within this group, limited service restaurants had the greatest value impacts ($19.99 billion), followed by wholesale trade in food and kindred products ($19.76 billion), full service restaurants ($17.18 billion), and retail food and beverage stores ($10.39 billion). The largest employment impacts were generated by full service restaurants (486,661 jobs), limited service restaurants (386,420 jobs), and retail food and beverage stores (223,156 jobs). Excluding sectors for food and kindred products distribution, the total economic values for all other agriculture, natural resources and related food industries were $72.46 billion in direct output, exports of $38.35 billion, output impacts of $ billion, direct employment of 435,637 jobs, total employment impacts of 794,291 jobs, value impacts of $54.46 billion, labor income impacts of $31.88 billion, other property income impacts of $18.81 billion, and business tax impacts of $3.77 billion (Table 1). 13

22 Economic Contributions in Florida Regions and Counties Regional economic contributions of agriculture, natural resources, and food industries in 2014 were evaluated for all 67 Florida counties and 9 multi-county economic areas (Figure 7), with results summarized in Tables 2 and 3, and Figures and employment impacts were highest in the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale region ($40.91 billion; 684,957 jobs), followed by Orlando ($34.50 billion; 605,925 jobs), Tampa-St. Petersburg ($18.50 billion; 308,812 jobs), Sarasota-Bradenton ($11.34 billion; 224,751 jobs), Jacksonville ($10.36 billion; 156,512 jobs), Pensacola ($3.48 billion; 76,410 jobs), Gainesville ($3.23 billion; 59,123 jobs), Tallahassee ($3.19 billion; 57,688 jobs), and Panama City ($1.84 billion; 36,414 jobs). Among individual Florida counties, the eight largest in terms of value and employment impacts in 2014 were Miami-Dade (260,020 jobs; $16.10 billion), Orange (193,688 jobs; $11.89 billion), Hillsborough; (184,652 jobs; $12.79 billion), Palm Beach (167,087 jobs; $10.29 billion), Broward (176,749 jobs; $9.65 billion), Polk (113,641 jobs; $8.18 billion), Duval (120,641 jobs; $8.22 billion), Pinellas (85,243 jobs; $4.10 billion), and Lee (72,916 jobs; $3.58 billion). An additional 21 counties had total value impacts exceeding $1 billion in 2014, including Collier ($2.59 billion), Seminole ($2.33 billion), Manatee ($2.31 billion), Sarasota ($1.89 billion), Volusia ($1.81 billion), Brevard ($1.76 billion), Escambia ($1.64 billion), Marion ($1.40 billion), Lake ($1.32 billion), Martin ($1.26 billion), St. Lucie ($1.23 billion), Bay ($1.23 billion), Leon ($1.22 billion), Alachua ($1.21 billion), Pasco ($1.11 billion), Osceola ($1.10 billion), St. Johns ($1.07 billion), Indian River ($1.04 billion), and Okaloosa ($1.01 billion). Some 28 counties had employment impacts of 10,000 jobs or greater. Thematic maps of the value (GDP) and employment contributions for Florida counties are shown in Figures 10 and 11, respectively. Note that although the economic contributions of agriculture and related industries may be smaller in absolute terms in many of the rural counties in the northern part of the state and the interior of the Florida peninsula, their contributions may be 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 the Appendix. 21

30 Share of Florida Gross Domestic Product and 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. Among 17 major industry groups, agriculture, natural resources, and food industries were ranked first in Florida in terms of direct employment (Figure 12), and were second only to the real estate and rental group in terms of direct value or GDP in 2014 (Figure 13). The direct value of agriculture, natural resources, and food industries in Florida ($75.98 billion) represented 9.1 percent of Florida s GDP ($ billion), and the total value contributions of the industry, including regional multiplier effects ($ billion), represented 15.3 percent of state GDP. employment in agriculture, natural resources, and food industries (1.565 million jobs) represented 14.5 percent of total employment in the state, and total employment contributions of the industry (2.210 million jobs) represented 20.5 percent of all Florida jobs. Excluding the food and kindred products distribution industry group, contributions of agriculture, natural resources, and food industries represented 6.5 percent of state GDP and 7.4 percent of state employment. The shares of total value (GDP) and employment contributions by agriculture, natural resources, and food industries in each region of Florida are shown in Figure 14. contributions of agriculture, natural resources, and food industries represented over 20 percent of total employment in the Gainesville, Orlando, Panama City, Sarasota-Bradenton, and Tallahassee regions, while value contributions represented over 15 percent of GDP in the Gainesville, Jacksonville, Orlando, Panama City, Sarasota-Bradenton, and Tallahassee regions. The shares of overall county employment and GDP contributed by agriculture-food industries in each of the Florida counties are mapped in Figures 15 and 16, respectively, with greater relative contributions indicated by darker shading. 29

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 the latest year of available data (2014), it is important to understand how these values have changed over time. Trends in the economic contributions between 2001 and 2014 are shown in Figures All monetary values were adjusted for inflation and expressed in constant 2014 U.S. dollars. Note that these trends may reflect changes in commodity prices, the structure of Florida s economy, and the business cycle of the national and global economy. Total employment impacts in the industry grew from 1.71 million jobs in 2001 to 1.93 million jobs in 2010, before declining during 2011, and then recovering to 2.21 million jobs in 2014 (Figure 17). Overall employment contributions in the industry increased by 29.1 percent over the 14-year period, and averaged 2.2 percent annually, based on the best-fitting linear regression. Average annual growth in employment contributions was greatest for mining (11.9%); agricultural inputs and services (8.2%); and crop, livestock, forestry, and fisheries production (3.3%). 32

34 Total value contributions grew from $84.38 billion in 2001 to $ billion in 2014 in inflation-adjusted terms, representing a 50.9 percent increase, or a 3.9 percent average annual growth rate (Figure 18). Among industry groups, the average annual growth in value impacts during was highest for agricultural inputs and services (10.3%), followed by mining (10.2%); food and kindred products distribution (6.5%); crop, livestock, forestry, and fisheries production (1.5%); and forest products manufacturing (1.4%), while nature-based recreation had the largest average annual decrease ( 5.3%). Trends in direct industry output, exports, employment contributions, and value contributions for agricultural commodity groups in Florida during are charted in Figures 19 22, respectively. industry output (sales revenues) for all commodity groups increased by 22.3 percent over this period, adjusted for inflation, representing an average annual rate of 1.7 percent (Figure 19). There were notably large increases for environmental horticulture (65.2%), fishing and seafood products (26.5%), livestock farming and animal products manufacturing (18.5%), forestry and forest products manufacturing (17.9%), and grain and oilseed farming and processing (78.3%), while sugarcane farming, refined sugar, and confections had a total decrease of 13.5 percent and fruit and vegetable farming and processing decreased by 8.2 percent during this period. Domestic and international exports of Florida food and fiber commodities grew by 16.0 percent over the 14-year period (1.2% average annually), led by grain and oilseed farming and processing (96.8%), fishing and seafood products (81.5%), environmental horticulture (80.7%), livestock farming and animal products manufacturing (78.5%), and forestry and forest products manufacturing (19.2%), while fruit and vegetable farming and processing declined ( 25.8%) (Figure 20). The increase in exports contributed strongly to the total economic contributions as a result of new final demand to the Florida economy, bringing in new dollars to be re-spent, as captured by the regional multiplier effects. contributions by commodity groups increased by 16.6 percent (1.3% average annually), with notable increases for grain and oilseed farming and processing (80.0%), environmental horticulture (79.3%), and fishing and seafood products (13.7%), but decreases for sugarcane farming, refined sugar, and confections ( 49.5%), forestry and forest products manufacturing ( 9.9%), and fruit and vegetable farming and processing ( 7.7%), as shown in Figure 21. contributions increased 17.5 percent, with large increases for fishing and seafood products (86.9%), livestock farming and animal products manufacturing (78.7%), and environmental horticulture (60.2%) (Figure 22). Individual crop and livestock industry sectors with large growth in direct output during (inflation adjusted) included tree nut farming (392%), commercial fishing (96%), beef and dairy cattle ranching (70%), and cotton farming (60%). Input and support industry sectors with large growth were lawn and garden equipment manufacturing (550%), fertilizer manufacturing (202%), landscape services (148%), veterinary services (100%), and pest control services (79%). Mining industry sectors with high growth were mining coal (3900%); drilling oil 33

35 and gas wells (1133%); support activities for other mining (395%); support activities for oil and gas operations (217%); and mining and quarrying sand, gravel, clay, and ceramic and refractory minerals (202%). Food and kindred product manufacturing industry sectors with large growth were soybean and other oilseed processing (4922%), tortilla manufacturing (2936%), dog and cat food manufacturing (1622%), all other food manufacturing (539%), wineries (441%), fats and oils refining and blending (246%), flour milling and malt manufacturing (237%), tobacco products manufacturing (201%), and chocolate and confectionery manufacturing from cacao beans (200%). Forest product manufacturing industry sectors with large growth were reconstituted wood products (8464%), sanitary paper products (271%), all other converted paper product manufacturing (202%), and all other miscellaneous wood product manufacturing (162%). Food and kindred product distribution industry sectors with large growth were wholesale trade in food and kindred products (75%) and food services and drinking places (63%). Overall, the agriculture, natural resources, and food industries collectively increased direct output by 47.2 percent during Other major industry groups that had higher growth in direct output during this period were utilities (97%); professional and technical services (95%); travel, entertainment, and recreation (60%); government (58%); wholesale trade (52%); and information and communications (52%). 34
