Floriculture and Nursery Sales 

Barely Increased in 2001

Grower cash receipts from sales of floriculture and nursery crops continued to rise, but at a much slower pace,

reaching $13.3 billion in 2001. Of this amount, close to

two-thirds, or 64 percent, are accounted for by sales of

nursery crops. The other 36 percent are from floriculture

crops. Including net trade, U.S. per household consumption of floriculture and nursery crops was $133 in 2001,

or $50 per capita. Total domestic consumption of both

crop groups was $14.2 billion in 2001 based on the

wholesale value of sales and net imports.

The U.S. economic recession in 2001’s third quarter

left the value of floriculture and nursery crops essentially flat from 2000. After healthy gains in the late

1990s through 2000, when the domestic economy was

booming, grower sales of nursery crops declined in

2001. Nevertheless, increased sales of potted flowering

plants, foliage plants, and bedding and garden plants

boosted overall floriculture sales, offsetting nursery

crops’ decline. Sales of cut flowers also fell in 2001,

reflecting their sensitivity to increased unemployment

and weak economic activity.

Western States Lead U.S. Sales

Among the geographic regions of the United States,

the Western States were the highest per capita consumers of floriculture and nursery crops. In 2000, per

capita sales in Western States were $68. In the next

highest, the Southern States, per capita sales were $55.

North Central States averaged $30, and Northeast

States, $25. Among individual States, Oregon had the

highest per capita sales—$191, followed by North

Carolina at $123. Florida was third at $97.

Based on State shares of U.S. cash receipts 

from floriculture and nursery sales in 2000, four

States—California, Florida, Texas, and North

Carolina—accounted for half of total crop value.

Three-quarters of total U.S. cash receipts were earned

by Western and Southern States. For the United

States, consumption per household of floriculture and

nursery products in 2000 amounted to $134, more

than double 1985’s $66 and triple 1980’s $44, based

on nominal wholesale value.

Since 1997, the total number of growers of floriculture

crops in the United States has fallen—from 12,717 to

10,965 in 2001. This reflects the steep decline in the

number of smaller growers with less than $100,000 in

annual floriculture sales relative to the number of large

growers. In the size of farming area (both covered and

open field), larger growers with more than $100,000 in

annual sales increased their average acreage from

46,400 acres in 1999 to 53,700 acres in 2001. In contrast, the total growing area used by smaller growers

decreased to an average 8,800 acres in 2001 from

10,200 acres in 1997. These indicate that, in general,

floriculture sales by larger operations have increased

relative to sales by smaller producers in recent years.

Recent Trends Show Greater Demand for

Floriculture and Nursery Crops

Total floriculture and nursery crop sales increased continuously in the past two decades, as have floriculture

crops and nursery crops separately in the past decade.

Floriculture crop sales reached $4.7 billion in 2001,

and nursery crop sales were $8.6 billion, as represented

by grower cash receipts. These are up from only $1 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively, in 1980. Among floriculture crops, only cut flower receipts have declined

since the late 1980s. These production declines were

more than offset by imports, however, as the dollar’s

exchange rate appreciated. The growth in demand for

other floriculture crops and for nursery crops is reflected partly in increased domestic sales, but more so in

higher imports, especially of nursery crops. Foreign

supply of cut flowers, which comprise about 50 percent

of total floriculture and nursery crop imports, is largely

from South America, whereas nursery stock is mostly

from Canada and the European Union. 

The significance of imports of cut flowers and nursery

stock is reflected in their growth to almost $1.2 billion

in 2001 from only $160 million in 1980. Together they

represent 3 percent of total U.S. agricultural imports,

up from less than 1 percent in 1980. Average imports

of these products, including Christmas trees from

Canada, are now $11 per household, of which more

than $5 are for cut flowers. These are up from only $2

and $1.10, respectively, in 1980. The strength of the

dollar and U.S. income growth in recent years underlie

the surge in imports. On the other hand, U.S. exports

of floriculture and nursery products, while only a fraction of U.S. imports, have declined in recent years as

the dollar strengthened and foreign demand weakened.

Summary
Floriculture crops—U.S. consumption of floriculture

crops amounted to $5.5 billion in 2001, up 3 percent

from 2000. Preliminary production estimates from

grower wholesale receipts were up 3.5 percent, from

$4.6 to $4.7 billion. Consumption of flowering, bedding, and foliage plants was $4.5 billion in 2001, compared with less than $1 billion for cut flowers. U.S.

floriculture imports were more than $900 million in

2001, but down 3.5 percent from 2000 as the total quantity of imported cut flowers continued to drop from their

peak in 1996. The higher exchange value of the dollar is

in part behind the decline in import value. The import

share of U.S. consumption of floriculture crops was 17

percent in 2001, down from 21 percent in 1996. Without

cut flowers, the import share was 7.5 percent.

Cut flowers—As prices of imported cut flowers started

falling since 1992, imports started to supplant domestic production. U.S. grower receipts began falling even

earlier, since 1990. Imports surpassed domestic producer sales in 1995, and the import share of U.S. cut

flower consumption is now 60 percent. Cut flower

imports make up half of total U.S. imports of floriculture and nursery products. The other half is composed

largely of other floriculture crops. Among the major

cut flower imports, only roses (hybrid tea) increased in

quantity in 2001. While prices of domestic cut flowers

were down slightly from 2000, import prices were

down sharply, now 14 percent below 1997 prices. The

competitiveness of foreign growers stems from lower

labor costs, smaller climate-control investments, and

their cheaper currencies. Overall prices of cut flowers

in 2001 were 6 percent lower than prices in 2000, and

10 percent below 1998 prices.

Nursery crops—U.S. consumption of nursery crops in

2001 was down slightly from 2000, from $8.8 billion to

$8.7 billion. This is due to smaller domestic production,

which fell to $8.6 billion in 2001 from $8.7 billion in

2000. However, the value of imports, whose share of

U.S. consumption is only 3 percent, increased 11 percent from 2000. Since U.S. consumption of nursery

crops is almost 60 percent larger than floriculture crop

consumption, the overall gain in total floriculture and

nursery consumption in 2001 was marginal. U.S. nursery crop consumption per household was $81 in 2001,

down $3 from 2000, but still $30 bigger than the $51

per household consumption of floriculture crops.

The 2002 Floriculture and Nursery Yearbook contains

all tables pertaining to results of the 1998 Census of

Horticultural Specialties that appeared in the last

Yearbook, which was published in 1999. Many tables

pertaining to Floriculture Crops have been renumbered, a few were added, and some were eliminated.

Results pertaining to the 2000 Nursery Crops survey

are shown in new tables, numbered from 81 to 90. The

sequence of table numbers as they pertain to the various sectors is unchanged from the 1999 Yearbook. All

data are annual and represent calendar year estimates.

Total grower sales according to the Census of

Horticultural Specialties in 1997 and the Census of

Agriculture in 1992 differ from corresponding estimates by Floriculture Crops because the Census surveyed growers in all 50 States whereas Floriculture

Crops covers only 36 major States. The surveys include

all growers with at least $10,000 in corresponding

sales. Grower cash receipts for the remaining 14 States

not surveyed in Floriculture Crops are estimated annually by the National Agricultural Statistics Service

(NASS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

A situation and outlook report on floriculture crops

will be published by the Economic Research Service

(ERS) in late summer, 2002. Included in the report are

an annual series of price indices for the various floriculture crops and groups of crops, as well as a monthly

producer price index for florists. The price index for

cut flowers is constructed as a weighted average of

domestic and import unit values. Projections for 2002

and 2003 will also be provided for key crop and economic indicators, including U.S. gross domestic product growth, real exchange-rate indices for imported cut

flowers and nursery stock, and corresponding import

values. Further analysis of sales and price trends by

crop and by State will likewise be included.

Yearbook Notes
Floriculture and Nursery Crops

The statistics in Floriculture Crops are collected from

annual surveys of all known growers of floriculture

crops in 36 selected States, based on sales previously

reported in the Census of Horticultural Specialties. The

survey is conducted in questionnaire form by NASS of

USDA. The survey covers retail and wholesale sales by

crop or product type—i.e., cut flowers, potted flowering

plants for indoor and patio use, herbaceous perennials,

annual bedding/garden plants, foliage plants (in pots and

baskets), cut cultivated greens, and propagative floriculture material and unfinished plants. Both the quantity

sold and value of sales are reported for each crop. Only

commercial growers with $10,000 or more in gross

value of floriculture sales are included in the survey.

Selected Hawaiian crop data are also reported.

Additional sales data are collected for various sizes or

container types (e.g., flats, pots less than 5 inches tall,

pots 5 inches or more, hanging baskets). Growers are

asked to provide data about the area used for crop production—i.e., the type and size of greenhouse cover.

The number of hired workers on the payroll on any

one day of the year is also reported. Excluded are

workers employed only for the retail operation, landscapers, and nonpaid family members. States with a

limited number of operations reporting an item are

suppressed to avoid disclosing individual information.

The 1998 Census of Agricultural Specialties was conducted by NASS. The 1992 survey was part of the

Census of Agriculture. Previous censuses in 1988,

1979, and 1970 were conducted by the Bureau of the

Census of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The

census includes sales of growers with $10,000 or more

in horticultural specialty product sales during the census year. The 1998 census includes producers of floriculture, nursery, and other specialty crops, such as sod,

mushrooms, food crops produced under glass or other

protection, transplants for commercial production, and

seeds. Growers in all 50 States were surveyed as part

of the Census of Agriculture and are the same growers

surveyed in Floriculture Crops. The next Census will

be conducted in 2004/05.

Data from Nursery Crops are obtained also by questionnaire from NASS. The first Nursery Production

Survey was conducted for the year 2000 to supplement

the more comprehensive Decennial Census of

Horticultural Specialties conducted by NASS. All

known growers in 17 selected States were included in

the survey, based on sales reported in the Census of

Horticultural Specialties. The nine nursery plant categories in the survey are broadleaf evergreens, coniferous evergreens, deciduous shade trees, deciduous flowering trees, deciduous shrubs and other ornamentals,

fruit and tree nut plants, cut and to-be-cut Christmas

trees, propagation material or lining-out stock, and

transplants for commercial truck crop production.

Only commercial growers with $10,000 or more in

nursery sales are included in the survey. The next survey of nursery crops will be in 2004/05.

Crop production estimates are based on producer “cash

receipts” which are the value of sales at the farm gate.

Most producers, or growers, act as wholesalers to buyers, who are usually retailers. However, a small portion

of crops may be sold directly to consumers, in which

case grower sales are classified as retail, not wholesale.

Crop prices are estimated from unit values of crop

sales divided by quantity sold. Domestic prices pertain

only to U.S.-grown crops. A composite price index for

floriculture crops is a weighted average of domestic

and import unit values, reflecting both U.S. and foreign production costs. Prices of each variety of cut

flowers, flowering plants, and bedding plants can be

computed from their respective tables of annual sales

values and quantities sold. Summary price tables will

be available in a subsequent report.

U.S. Trade

The source of import and export data for floriculture

and nursery crops is the trade database of the Foreign

Agricultural Service (FAS), of USDA (www.fas.usda.

gov/ustrade). The U.S. Bureau of the Census compiles

the trade data. 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.),

which represents 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. 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.

Description of Sales and Trade Data
Floriculture and nursery trade data are divided into 4

groups, each classified by a 4-digit code: U.S. harmonized tariff system codes 0601, 0602, 0603, and 0604.

Each crop group is further reclassified into 6-digit subgroups, then 10-digit-coded products. Import data from

Foreign Agricultural Trade of the United States

(FATUS), are divided into “cut flowers” and “nursery

stock,” while exports are grouped in “nursery and

greenhouse products.” All import and export values

and quantities are available for years 1989 to date.

1/ Computed by subtracting the expanded wholesale value of floriculture sales (by growers with at least $10,000 in floriculture sales; 

 36 major States) from total greenhouse and nursery cash receipts of growers. It is shown under the "Nursery crops" column heading in table 4.

2/ Imports and exports include live trees, shrubs, bushes, mushroom spawn, other nonflowering nursery crops with or without soil attached to 

roots, and fresh Christmas trees.

3/ Domestic consumption equals supply minus exports. Supply equals domestic production plus imports.
