10 What We Did The Center for Agribusiness and Economic Development performed an analysis of each county s economy, focusing on the role of food and fiber.

11 What We Asked County Economy Modeled How much of a county s total current economic output comes from food and fiber production and directly related processing? (A Snapshot of the Economy) What is the total (direct and indirect) Impact of food and fiber production and directly related industries?

14 An Economic Snapshot of Harris County How much of Harris County s total economic output comes from food and fiber production? AG value alone of $? million consisting of Farm Gate Value, AG services, and landscaping services comprises?% of the county s economy. AG plus directly related businesses (ex.?,?, etc.) comprise?% of the county s economy.

15 Food and Fiber Production, Processing and Direct Manufacturing as % of Total Output - 1% 1-2% 2-4% 4-6% 6-84% Harris Co.?%

16 What is the Impact? What is the total (direct and indirect) impact of food and fiber production and directly related industries? This scenario illustrates how other industries are affected by the presence of food and fiber in the county. The indirect impacts measure output created due to food and fiber production and processing in the county.

17 What Impact Means: A Brief Explanation The impact numbers capture the ripple effects that food and fiber create in the county s economy. Many other sectors rely in part on the existence of food and fiber for sales. Labor Seed Utilities

18 Harris County Production Agriculture IMPACT Agriculture Mining Construction Manufacturing Utilities Trade Fin/Ins/Real Est Services Government Other Total Direct $ (millions) Indirect $ (millions) $??illion?% of total economy

19 Harris County Agriculture and Directly Related Businesses IMPACT Agriculture + Direct Mining Construction Manufacturing Utilities Trade Fin / Ins / Real Est Services Government Othe Total Direct $ (millions) Indirect $ (millions) $??illion?% of total economy

20 Harris County Production Agriculture + Directly Related Industries Employment IMPACT Agriculture + Direct Mining Construction Manufacturing Utilities Trade Fin/Ins/Real Est Services Government Other Total Employment Direct Indirect

21 What These Numbers Mean: A Brief Explanation Direct impact is $??illion. This includes food and fiber production, processing and directly-related manufacturing. Indirect impact from the Trade sector is $? million. This captures the effects of farmers (direct source) buying supplies (seed, fertilizer, work boots) from local stores. These stores must increase their output to meet farmer demand.

22 What These Numbers Mean: A Brief Explanation (continued) As local stores increase their output, they may demand more stock from local wholesalers (also in the Trade sector). Local wholesalers demand more from local manufacturers, thus increasing activity in the Manufacturing sector. Local stores also hire employees to assist farmers. They take home wages and buy groceries at the local store which increases demand there.

23 Harris County Food and Fiber Impact Conclusions The total impact of food and fiber production, processing and direct manufacturing is $??illion. The total output is $??illion. Thus, food and fiber (directly and indirectly) account for?% of the total output.

24 Food and Fiber Production, Processing and Direct Manufacturing Impact as % of Total Output - 1% 1-2% 2-4% 4-6% 6-1% Harris Co.?%
