Abstract

Demand for greenhouse and nursery crops in 2003 was weak largely due to

a 1-percent decline in floriculture crop sales. Grower cash receipts for

greenhouse and nursery crops amounted to $14.3 billion in 2003, down

from $14.5 billion in 2002. Lower sales of fresh cut flowers, potted flowering plants, and foliage plants for indoor use were responsible for the drop

in floriculture sales. The 1-percent gain in bedding and garden plant sales

was not enough to raise total floriculture receipts from 2002. The value of

U.S. imports of cut flowers and nursery stock continues to increase,

reaching $1.3 billion in 2003. The share of imported cut flowers in U.S. cut

flower consumption is now 61 percent. Only the restriction on importation

of live plants with soil attached to roots from countries other than Canada is

keeping imports of ornamental plants from growing even faster.

Summary

Demand for Ornamental Crops Was Weak

Although greenhouse and nursery crops are the fourth largest crop group

based on farm cash receipts, its growth is flat, at least for 2003. While larger

crop groups—corn, vegetables, and soybeans—continue to grow in sales

value, ornamental crops, which include floriculture and nursery products,

are experiencing a decline in the number of growers and average sales per

acre of production area. With respect to floriculture crops, average sales per

grower continue to rise as fewer farm operations become bigger. The addition of more open-field production area to existing farm acreage, while

keeping greenhouse and covered acreage unchanged, has caused average

floriculture sales per acre to fall. Only growers in the Midwest raised their

sales per acre in 2003, particularly Missouri, Kansas, Michigan, Wisconsin,

and Ohio.

Greenhouse and nursery crops constitute a third of the total farm cash

receipts from horticulture crops, which include vegetables, fruits, and tree

nuts. Cash receipts for greenhouse and nursery crops are estimated at $14.3

billion in 2003, 1 percent below 2002’s value. Only vegetables among

domestic horticulture crops are expected to boost sales value in 2003.

Continued larger imports of produce, processed fruits and vegetables, and

cut flowers and nursery stock raise competitive pressure on domestic

producers. While ornamental crops are only a small portion of total horticulture imports, their value amounted to $1.2 billion in 2003, up from only

$530 million in 1990. USDA projections show ornamental imports reaching

$1.4 billion in 2004.

Lower sales of greenhouse and nursery crops in 2003 reflect both weak

domestic demand and more intense import competition. Although U.S.

consumption of ornamental crops was unchanged in 2003 as higher imports

offset smaller domestic production, consumption per household dropped to

$140 from $142 in 2002. Of this amount, $54 were spent on floriculture

crops, and the rest on nursery and other greenhouse crops. In turn, of the

$54 spent, $9 were used to purchase cut flowers and $45 for flowering and

foliage plants. The fastest growing sector in the ornamental crop market are

flowering and foliage plants, which include bedding, garden, and indoor

plants. Because of import restrictions on plants with soil attached to roots,

except plants from Canada, these products have become the bread and butter

of U.S. floriculture growers.

Besides the top three producers of ornamental crops—California, Florida,

and Texas—North Carolina and Oregon are close to reaching $1 billion in

annual green sales. Both of these States produce about $800 million worth

of nursery and other greenhouse crops and only between $100 and $200

million of floriculture crops. Emerging competitors are Michigan and Ohio,

which, by contrast, produced between $200 and $400 million of floriculture

crops in 2003. These Midwestern States are leading producers of bedding

and garden plants, both annuals and perennials, in large part due to

increased greenhouse production. Michigan and Ohio are not far behind

Texas in total greenhouse acreage. While Florida remains the predominant

3

supplier of indoor foliage plants east of the Mississippi River, upcoming

suppliers include North Carolina, Ohio, and Louisiana.

Despite the advantages offered by year-round greenhouse production of

ornamental crops, greenhouses are expensive to build and operate, particularly with respect to higher fuel costs for heating. In addition, as overall

demand for ornamental crops has weakened, growers have increasingly

resorted to open-field production, attested to by the 18-percent jump in

open-field acreage that floriculture farmers planted in 2003. The quest for

larger market share appears to be driving the growers, who now average

more than $1 million in floral sales a year, up from $980,300 in 2002.

Floriculture Sales Per Acre of Production Area Are

Down but Sales Per Grower Are Up

Among floriculture crop groups, only bedding and garden plants and propagative materials registered an increase in sales value in 2003. While some

switching of production from cut flowers to annual and perennial flowering

plants is occurring due to import competition, overall demand for ornamental crops appears weak. Total greenhouse and nursery crops, which

include floriculture crops, are down in 2003, indicating that discretionary

spending on these largely optional purchases is being curtailed despite

growing personal incomes. In spite of brisk residential construction and

resale of existing homes, the market for ornamental crops appears to have

matured. This situation is reflected to some extent in the smaller number of

floriculture crop growers and their hired workers.

Even as average floriculture sales of large growers (i.e., operations with

more than $100,000 in annual sales) rose slightly, average sales per acre of

total production area dropped sharply to $75,000 in 2003 from $81,000 in

2002. This is because large farm operations have added more open-field

production than they reduced in greenhouse and shade-covered areas. The

average covered production area for floriculture crops per large grower in

2003 was 4 acres, up from 3.9 acres in 2002. A decade ago, covered area

per grower was half an acre smaller on average. Lower sales in 2003 and

more mechanized open field production require less workers, which is

reflected in the 4,000-drop in the number of hired workers from 136,000 in

2002 to 132,000 in 2003.

It is also significant that, despite lower domestic production and sales of

floriculture crops, U.S. consumption of these products actually increased in

2003. As imports of cut flowers, flowering, and foliage plants jumped from

2002, total supply grew accordingly, pushing total consumption up. Nevertheless, floriculture consumption per U.S. household remains at $54,

unchanged from 2002. Although the 13-percent import share of floriculture

crop consumption is higher than in the past 2 years, it is still lower than in

1995-2000 when it averaged 15 percent.

Large growers located in Midwestern and Western States experienced incremental increases in floriculture sales, whereas growers in the Northeast and

South suffered declines in 2003. Notwithstanding these recent sales patterns,

operations in the Midwest and West actually reduced their total production

areas from 2002, while operations in the Northeast and South enlarged

4

theirs. Thus, sales value per acre in the Midwest and West grew relative to

their counterparts in the Northeast and South.

Floriculture sales per grower increased on average in all four U.S. regions,

growing the fastest in the Midwest as sales of bedding and garden annual

flowering plants led growth. Operations in the South have the next fastest

advance in sales per grower, largely due to a 7-percent decline in the

number of large growers from 1,706 in 2002 to 1,592 in 2003. The average

size of farm operations in the West remains the largest at almost $1.5

million sales per grower, followed by Southern operations at $1.1 million.

By contrast, the average size of operations in the Northeast and Midwest is

only around $700,000. Growers in Michigan sell an average $914,000 each,

the highest in the Midwest.

Cut flowers—Growers continue to switch fresh cut flower production from

flowers which are highly imported to high-value varieties with less import

competition. Flowers whose domestic production increased include

delphinium, larkspur, gerbera daisy, gladioli, iris, lilies, orchids, and tulips.

Nonetheless, lower U.S. production of roses, chrysanthemums, and carnations more than offset the gains in other cut flowers. As a result, overall unit

values dropped even as the corresponding quantity sold fell.

The number of cut flower producers is down to 548 from 618 in 2002. Only

growers of tulips and delphinium/larkspur grew in number. Average sales

per grower increased with respect to mums, gerbera daisy, gladioli, iris,

lilies, lisianthus, and orchids, which raised overall sales per grower to

$775,500 from $691,000 in 2002.

Potted flowering and foliage plants—With the exception of orchids and

spring flowering bulbs, all other potted flowering plants recorded lower

sales in 2003. As a result of a smaller number of growers compared with

2002, average sales per grower climbed to over $375,000 from $357,800.

Growers of poinsettias, florist roses, easter lilies, orchids, and spring bulbs

all experienced higher average sales in 2003.

Orchids clearly led sales growth among potted flowering plants over the

past decade. Potted orchid sales reached $121 million in 2003, second only

to poinsettias, which had $257 million in sales. However, as the number of

orchid pots sold surged to 15.6 million from 13.3 million in 2002, unit

prices slid from $8.40 to $7.80 per pot in 2003. Orchid supply was also

augmented by imports worth $28 million in 2003. It is evident that more

growers are targeting the lucrative orchid market as fierce competition in

selling other potted flowering plants such as poinsettias puts downward

pressure on their prices.

Bedding and garden plants—Both annuals and perennials gained in sales in

2003. Among perennials, hardy/garden chrysanthemums and hosta both

increased sales in 2003. Among annuals, only geraniums from cuttings and

vegetable types moved up in sales. Growers in all U.S. regions, except in the

West, experienced gains in sales value despite less quantity sold in the

Northeast and Midwest. Thus, part of the higher sales value stems from

higher wholesale prices.

5

Floriculture and Nursery Crops Situation and Outlook Yearbook / FLO-2004 / June 2004

Economic Research Service/USDA
For annual bedding and garden plants, sales increased only for plants in pots

and hanging baskets. Sales of annuals in flats, the largest source of sales

receipts for bedding plant growers, were down in 2003 despite lower to flat

unit prices. Only prices of geraniums from cuttings were up in 2003. As the

number of growers fell in 2003, average sales per grower climbed to

$580,000 for annuals and $246,000 for perennials.

U.S. ornamental imports—U.S. imports of cut flowers and nursery stock

totaled $1.25 billion in 2003, up 10 percent from $1.1 billion in 2002.

Imported cut flowers increased 13 percent from 2002, following 2 years of

decline. Both import quantity and prices of cut flowers climbed in 2003.

Nursery stock imports, including all ornamental crops and products except

cut flowers, grew 8 percent to $638.6 million, which is only slightly larger

than $611 million for imported cut flowers. This growth generally follows

the strong import demand of most agricultural products in 2003.

Roses lead U.S. cut flower imports by a wide margin. Colombia is the major

producer of these flowers, followed by Ecuador. For imports of live plants

and trees, Canada is by far the biggest source due to restrictions pertaining

to shipment of plants with soil attached to their roots from other countries.

Unrooted cuttings and slips of plants are imported mainly from Costa Rica,

Guatemala, and Mexico. Many flowering plants, including geraniums, originate as cuttings from growers in these Latin American countries. The

growing market for orchid plants is supplied largely by Taiwan, followed by

Thailand and the Netherlands. For flowering bulbs such as tulips and lilies,

the Netherlands is the predominant supplier. Finally, most imported

Christmas trees come from Canada.

The import share of U.S. consumption of fresh cut flowers is now 61

percent, up from 58 percent in 2002 and only 40 percent in 1989. This is the

reason for the long-term downward trend in domestic cut flower production,

particularly for roses, chrysanthemums, carnations, and gladioli. For total

floriculture crops, the share of imports in consumption is much smaller at

13 percent because the import share for potted flowering plants, foliage, and

bedding plants is only 3 percent. While U.S. imports of nursery stock,

which include flowering bulbs, live plants, foliage, and Christmas trees, are

now larger in value than cut flower imports, their share in consumption of

nursery and other greenhouse crops is only 5 percent.

Compilation of Sales 

And Trade Data

The statistics in Floriculture Crops are collected from annual surveys of all

known growers of floriculture crops in 36 major States. The survey by the

National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) covers grower sales at

wholesale by crop or product type and by State. Statistics for each crop

include the number of producers, quantity of units sold, the percent of sales

at wholesale, the wholesale price, and the value of sales. Only growers with

at least $100,000 in gross value of floriculture sales were asked to provide

detailed crop sales statistics. Selected crop data in Hawaii are also reported.

Additional crop sales statistics are collected for various plant container sizes

or types (e.g., flats, pots less than 5 inches tall, pots 5 inches or taller, and

hanging baskets). Annuals are also distinguished from perennials and

finished plants from propagative material. Growers are asked to provide data

about the area used for crop production—i.e., the size of growing area, the

type of protective cover, and the area under cover. The number of hired

workers on the payroll on any one day of the year is also reported. Excluded

workers are those employed only for the retail operation, landscapers, and

nonpaid family members. Data for States with a small number of operations

are not reported to avoid disclosing individual business information, but

their statistics are aggregated under “Other States.”

Data from Nursery Crops, based on the Nursery Production Survey of 17

States by NASS in 2000, are summarized in tables 76 to 85 in the 2003

Floriculture and Nursery Crops Yearbook. These tables are not included in

this Yearbook. To date, no survey pertaining to Nursery Crops is scheduled

separately by NASS.

ERS and NASS collaborate in estimating annual grower cash receipts of

“nursery and other greenhouse” crops for all 50 States. They are computed

as the difference between greenhouse/nursery cash receipts from all 50

States and floriculture sales from 36 States. Thus, the difference includes

floriculture sales by growers located in the 14 smaller States that are

excluded from the annual Floriculture Crops survey by NASS. (These 14

States have no floriculture sales in table A-5.) Most of these States are

sparsely populated or not conducive to floriculture production, and local

growers generally have small operations whose collective sales are comparatively less than in the 36 larger States.

U.S. trade—The source of import and export data for floriculture and

nursery crops is the Foreign Agricultural Trade of the United States

(FATUS), which can be accessed on the internet at fas.usda.gov/ustrade. The

U.S. Census Bureau compiles the trade data from U.S. Customs records.

Import values include cost, insurance, and freight (c.i.f.), representing the

landed value of the merchandise at the first port of arrival in the United

States. C.i.f. values exclude import duties.

U.S. export values are free alongside ship (f.a.s.), representing the transaction price, including inland freight, insurance, and other charges incurred in

placing the merchandise alongside the carrier at the U.S. port of exportation.

7

Floriculture and Nursery Crops Situation and Outlook Yearbook / FLO-2004 / June 2004

Economic Research Service/USDA
F.a.s. values exclude the cost of loading the merchandise aboard the

exporting carrier and also exclude freight, insurance, and any charges or

transportation costs beyond the port of shipment.

In FATUS, floriculture and nursery trade data are divided into four groups,

each classified by a 4-digit U.S. harmonized tariff system (HS) code—0601

(bulbs, tubers), 0602 (live plants, cuttings), 0603 (cut flowers, buds), and 0604

(foliage, branches, Christmas trees). Each group is further classified into 10-

digit-coded products. FATUS imports are aggregated as “cut flowers” and

“nursery stock,” while exports are aggregated as “nursery and greenhouse

products.” All import and export values and quantities by HS codes and by

countries are available starting in 1989, in monthly and annual form.

The number of U.S. households by State and U.S. resident population are

obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau (census.gov). Population estimates in

1999, 2001, and 2002 are projections based on the Census 2000 survey.

Supplemental Information

The 2002 Floriculture and Nursery Crops Yearbook contains all tables

compiled from the 1998 Census of Horticultural Specialties. Those tables,

however, are not published in this Yearbook since no data updates are

provided. The 2002 Census of Agriculture does not cover production or sales

of nursery, greenhouse, and floriculture crops by producers in the 50 States.

The next survey of horticultural specialties will be in 2007. Survey results will

be summarized in the 2008 Floriculture and Nursery Crops Yearbook.

The summary statistics for 2002 and 2003 in Floriculture Crops released in

April 2004 contained some errors. The revised data are posted online at

www.usda.gov/nass.

The general sequence of tables in this Yearbook is unchanged from last

year’s, although new tables were added, other tables were combined or

expanded, and some were eliminated. The numbering of the tables was

revised to accommodate future changes. All data are annual and represent

calendar year estimates. The floriculture crop survey by NASS includes

small growers with $10,000 to $100,000 in annual floriculture sales.

However, only total crop sales, hired labor, and growing area statistics are

collected from small growers since they collectively represent only 6 to 7

percent of total sales of larger producers with more than $100,000 in annual

floriculture sales.

Some sales statistics of large growers are not revealed in Floriculture Crops

to avoid disclosure of individual operations. These statistics, however, are

aggregated and recorded in “Other States,” which are included in the total

for the United States. As such, the sum of data in the four U.S. regions may

not equal the U.S. total.

Floriculture and Nursery Crops Outlook is also published online by ERS in

September. The report provides one-year-ahead forecasts of key floriculture

sales and price statistics for the United States and the four U.S. regions—

Northeast, Midwest, South, and West. An analysis of recent trends and the

outlook for the industry is the focus of the report.

This Yearbook and the Floriculture and Nursery Crops Outlook can be

accessed, downloaded, and printed from the ERS website (ers.usda.gov). A

hardcopy version of the Yearbook will be mailed upon request. The ERS

Briefing Room on Floriculture Crops contains historical statistics of grower

sales and prices of cut flowers, potted flowering and foliage plants, and

bedding and garden plants for each of the 36 surveyed States. Greenhouse

and nursery cash receipts and production area statistics by State are also

available in the Floriculture Briefing Room. Updates of crop statistics by

State are provided online upon request.

Definitions

Bedding and garden plants: Annual or biennial finished flowering plants

intended for seasonal outdoor use. Among the major annuals are begonias,

geraniums, impatiens, marigolds, pansy/viola, and petunias. Also include

vegetable-type ornamental plants, vegetable transplants for garden use, and

herbaceous perennials, but exclude commercial vegetable plants. The plants

are marketed as flats, pots, or hanging baskets. 

Cut foliage or greens: Cultivated ornamental stems, branches, or leaves

grown as filler and foliage for cut flower arrangements and bouquets.

Leatherleaf ferns, largely grown in Florida, are a major cut green.

Cut flowers: Blossoms from flowering plants sold as stems, bunches, or

arrangements; the flowers may be fresh, dried, or preserved. The major

commercial varieties include standard carnations, roses, pompon chrysanthemums, gladioli, tulips, orchids, lilies, alstroemeria, delphinium and larkspur, gerbera daisies, iris, lisianthus, and snapdragons. 

Floriculture crops: Ornamental plants without woody stems, including

annual and perennial bedding and garden plants, cut flowers, cut cultivated

greens, potted flowering plants, indoor foliage plants, and unfinished propagative material. All other ornamental plants are classified as nursery crops.

Foliage plants: Finished plants in pots or hanging baskets for indoor or

patio use; they are classified as floriculture crops. Woody foliage plants

intended for outdoor or landscape use are classified as nursery crops.

Include ficus, ivy, cacti, ferns, palms, succulents, and indoor/patio shrubs,

trees, and vines.

Greenhouse crops: Crops grown under covered protection, including floral,

foliage, and vegetable plants (largely tomatoes), unfinished plants, transplant seedlings, bulbs, turfgrass sod, aquatic plants, cultivated mushrooms,

herbs, and seeds. Grower sales receipts from greenhouse crops include

vegetable transplants for commercial production. Some nursery crops are

grown in greenhouses before sale or transplant.

Herbaceous perennials: Field and container-grown plants intended for

outdoor use, including hardy/garden chrysanthemums, hosta, and other

herbaceous perennials. Unlike annuals, perennials live and bloom for many

years; they are dormant in the winter. Unfinished plants are excluded.

Nursery crops: Finished ornamental plants and trees with woody stems,

including broadleaf evergreens, coniferous evergreens, deciduous shade

trees, deciduous flowering trees, deciduous shrubs and other ornamentals,

fruit and nut plants intended for outdoor and landscape use, cut and live

Christmas trees, and propagation material or lining-out stock. Also include

ornamental vines, and turfgrass sod and other groundcovers. Crops are sold

as “balled in burlap,” bare root, or container grown.

Ornamental crops: Also known as environmental horticulture or green

crops. All floriculture and nursery plants, shrubs, trees, and grasses for

10

outdoor and indoor use are classified as ornamental. Their purpose is to

beautify, decorate, or enhance the environment, but are not cultivated for

food. They include nursery stock and propagative material such as bulbs,

cuttings and slips of plants, seedlings, and seed plants grown in greenhouses, but exclude plants intended for commercial food production such as

vegetables.

Potted flowering plants: Plants intended for indoor or patio use only,

including plants grown from bulbs. Plants intended for landscape use are

excluded. Include African violets, azaleas, chrysanthemums, Easter lilies,

orchids, poinsettias, roses, and spring bulbs. Containers also include trays

and hanging baskets (pots).

Production area: The gross physical space used for plant propagation,

including aisles and walkways, in open ground or covered by greenhouses

made of glass, fiberglass, film plastic, or shade and temporary cover. Excludes

non-ornamental crop growing areas, such as fruit and vegetable farms.

Propagative material: Includes cuttings, liners, plug seedlings, prefinished

plants, or tissue cultured plantlets, and unfinished plants sold to other growers

for further growing. Excludes seeds, bulbs, tubers, rhizomes, or corms grown

for sale to bulb forcers and gardeners. Also excludes transplants for commercial production such as vegetable, strawberry, and tobacco plants.

Wholesale value of sales: The value of all crops grown then sold by their

growers on a gross wholesale basis before deductions for sales commissions, transportation costs, and other similar charges. The percentage of

sales at wholesale is the crop portion not sold at retail or marketed directly

to the final consumer. It is computed as the product of the average wholesale price and the total quantity of crops sold by the producer.

 1/ Based on grower sales receipts in table A-3. 2/ Domestic consumption equals supply minus exports. Supply equals domestic production plus imports. 

3/ Production, imports, and exports are computed as the difference between corresponding values in greenhouse and nursery crops and the values with 

respect to floriculture crops in the next page. Imports include live plants, shrubs, trees, with or without soil attached to roots, and unrooted cuttings of plants; 

excludes mushroom spawn. 4/ Includes sales by growers with annual floriculture sales between $10,000 and $100,000; growers are located in the 36 surveyed 

States. Imports and exports include unrooted cuttings and slips of plants, but excludes plants not identified as flowering. 5/ Includes potted flowering plants, 

foliage plants for indoor use, bedding and garden plants, cut cultivated greens, and propagative material. Domestic production is the difference between 

domestic production of all floriculture crops and that of cut flowers. Imports and exports are the difference between imports and exports of all floriculture crops 

and those of cut flowers. 6/ Sales by growers with at least $100,000 in annual floriculture sales at wholesale.
