Green Industry Sales Are Flat

While grower sales of floriculture crops increased 1.6

percent in 2002 from 2001, nursery crop sales fell by a

marginal amount. Together, floriculture and nursery

crops, also known as the green industry, reached $13.8

billion in sales in 2002, up from $13.7 billion in 2001.

After accounting for imports and exports, domestic

consumption of floral and nursery crops is up only

slightly in 2002. However, on a per-U.S. household

basis, consumption is down to $136 from $137 in 2001.

The weak U.S. economy in 2001 and 2002 is largely

responsible for flat grower sales in the green industry.

Although floriculture crop sales have continued to

grow, albeit slowly, nursery crop sales, which are

about twice the size of floriculture sales, are flat.

Among floriculture crops, only bedding and garden

plants and foliage plants registered sales gains, raising

floral crop consumption up 1.5 percent to $5.6 billion

in 2002. Cut flower imports fell in value even as

import volume rose, due in part to the high exchange

rate of the dollar. U.S. consumption of cut flowers has

been on a downward trend, now $8 per household

compared with $10 in 1999.

Bedding and Flowering Plants Lead

Floriculture Sales

Two-thirds of the value of U.S. floriculture production

in 2002 consisted of bedding and garden plants and

potted flowering plants. These plants led U.S. sales

growth among the six floriculture subsectors, which

also include cut flowers, foliage plants, cut cultivated

greens, and unfinished propagative material. In 1990,

bedding-garden plants and potted flowering plants

comprised only 55 percent of total U.S. floriculture

production value. Their relatively faster growth over

the past decade is due in part to reduced demand for

domestic cut flowers and cut greens. Although demand

for foliage plants continues to increase, their sales

growth has been relatively slower.

Imports of flowering and bedding plants, largely from

Canada, have also risen rapidly in recent years, helping

consumption of floriculture crops per-U.S. household

reach $52 from $32 in 1990. The largest producers of

bedding and garden plants are California, Michigan,

Texas, Ohio, Florida, and New York, each exceeding

$100 million in sales in 2002. The production of potted flowering plants is dominated by California and

Florida, whose combined sales were 36 percent of

U.S. growers’ sales of potted flowering plants in 2002.

Most States produce more bedding and garden plants

than any of the other floriculture products. One major

exception is Florida, whose growers collectively produce and sell more foliage plants than any other State.

Indeed, Florida produces almost 70 percent of total

U.S. foliage plant production, which is not unlike

California’s two-thirds share of U.S. cut flower production. Florida produces about four times more

foliage plants than flowering or bedding plants, its

next largest green product.

Growers in the South and West Have

Largest Sales

California, Florida, and Texas all exceeded $1 billion

each in sales of green crops in 2002. Since growers in

these States also sell their products in other States,

green sales per-U.S. household by growers in the four

largest States are also the highest among all States.

Together, sales by these four States accounted for 53

percent of the total U.S. green industry output in 2002.

Growers in the Southern and Western States produced

75 percent of all green crops in 2002. However, led by

Michigan and Ohio, growers in the Midwest produce

and sell a relatively large portion of total U.S. bedding

and garden plants. Only growers in California sell

more bedding and garden plants than Michigan growers. But with respect to herbaceous perennial plants,

South Carolina is the sales leader.

Growers in the Midwest generated the highest sales

per acre of production area—averaging more than

$104,000 in floriculture sales in 2002. This compares

with $92,000 in the Northeast, $80,000 in the South,

and $77,000 in the West. Individually, however, growers in Colorado claim the highest sales per acre of

floriculture crops in the United States—almost

$300,000 in 2002.

Florida has the largest production area for floriculture

crops—close to 18,000 acres in total—about as large

as the combined growing areas of all States in the

West, including California, and twice as large as the

Midwest’s total production area. Although California’s

total greenhouse cover is close to twice Florida’s, the

latter’s share of total U.S. use of shade and temporary

cover is 82 percent.

Summary
Floriculture Growers Continue 

To Decline in Number

There were 12,717 growers of floriculture crops in the

United States in 1997. In 2002, the number of growers

has declined to 10,216. While the number of both

small and large growers has fallen, the average sales of

large growers now exceed $1 million, compared with

only $46,000 for small growers.1 The largest average

sales are by growers in the West, followed by growers

in the South. Among large growers, those in South

Carolina averaged more than $2.25 million sales in

2002, the highest in the 36 surveyed States. The next

highest average sales among large growers were $1.84

million in California.

As floriculture sales of large growers continue to

expand, sales by small growers have been shrinking

since 2000. Large growers in the West and South produce and sell about twice the crop value of their counterparts in the Midwest and Northeast. Average sales

of small growers are highest in the West.

The total production area for U.S. floriculture crops in

2002 was just under 58,000 acres. This is down from

1998’s 68,500 acres of production area. About 36 percent of the production area in 2002 was under covered

protection, either under greenhouses or under shade

and temporary cover. The rest of the crops are grown

in open fields. Southern growers, principally in

Florida, have bigger production areas under cover than

growers elsewhere. While growers in the West also

widely employ covered protection for their crops,

growers in the South use more shade and temporary

cover than greenhouses with rigid structures.

About 72 percent of the U.S. production area for floriculture crops is in the Southern and Western States. And

of the U.S. total area under covered protection, 75 percent is in the South and West. Plants grown under covered protection include seedlings, immature, and unfinished plants, as well as high-value plants such as orchids

and other tropical flowers. The decline in the size of total

production area under covered protection in recent years

is due in part to flat overall sales and to increasing outsourcing of seedling and propagative material production

to growers in Central America and Mexico.

Cut flowers—Almost all the major cut flowers have

experienced declining sales in the past decade.

Although imports have supplanted domestic-grown

flowers, such as roses and orchids, the import values

of carnations and chrysanthemums have also fallen.

The reason behind these downward trends is the general drop in U.S. demand for cut flowers since 1997

when total cut flower supply and consumption peaked.

Relatively higher priced domestic cut flowers helped

shift demand toward imported cut flowers and other

domestic-grown floral crops. Thus, while the import

share of U.S. cut flower consumption remained around

60 percent, domestic cut flower production continued

to recede. U.S. growers instead shifted production

toward potted flowering plants, bedding and garden

plants, and foliage plants.

Bedding and garden plants—As U.S. demand for

floriculture crops other than cut flowers increased in

the 1990s and continued to grow in recent years,

domestic production of flowering, bedding, and foliage

plants responded accordingly. Although still relatively

small as a share of consumption, imports of these

plants have also risen sharply, especially as the dollar’s

exchange rate has risen. Thus far, most of these

imported plants are produced in Canada since restrictions related to plant diseases and pests largely constrain imports from other countries, especially plants

with soil attached to roots. Consumption of flowering,

bedding, and foliage plants is now $43 per-U.S. household, up from only $22 in 1989 and $30 in 1995.

Nursery crops—U.S. production of nursery crops was

estimated at $8.9 billion in 2002, 83 percent larger

than floriculture crop production. Per-household consumption was $84 for nursery crops and $52 for floriculture crops. While per-household consumption of

floriculture crops continues to increase, that of nursery

crops appears to have peaked in 2001. The U.S. economic recession in 2001 and weak growth in 2002 are

partly responsible for the subdued demand for nursery

crops, despite strong U.S. housing construction activity. Imported nursery crops, largely live plants and

nursery stock, are still an insignificant fraction of U.S.

nursery crop consumption at 3.3 percent. Growers in

California and Texas produced 36 percent of the country’s nursery crops in 2002 based on sales of $2.1 and

$1.1 billion, respectively.

U.S. green imports—Cut flower imports are 48 percent

of total U.S. imported green products, which were $1.1

billion in 2002. This import share is down from 60 percent in 1996 when cut flower imports per U.S. house-

at wholesale, and small growers have between $10,000 and

$100,000 in annual floriculture sales.
hold were $6. Cut flower imports are now down to an

average $5 per household. Imported nursery stock,

bulbs, etc., on the other hand, have been expanding continuously. As recently as in 2000, these nursery crop

imports were less in value than cut flower imports. In

2001, nursery crops first exceeded cut flowers in value,

and are now 52 percent of total U.S. green imports.

The bulk of imported cut flowers come from

Colombia, Ecuador, and the Netherlands. Colombia

supplies most of the imported roses, carnations, and

chrysanthemums, while Ecuador ships more roses than

other cut flowers to the United States. The Netherlands

is the prime source for tulips. Canada and the

Netherlands supply three-quarters of U.S. nursery

stock imports. Live trees and plants largely come from

Canada, and bulbs of tulips, lilies, and narcissus are

from the Netherlands.

U.S. imports of propagative material—unrooted cuttings and slips of plants—expanded 500 percent in

value from 1992 to 2002. Attracted by lower production costs and favorable climate, these immature plants

as well as unfinished seedlings are grown initially in

Costa Rica, Guatemala, and increasingly in Mexico.

After shipment into the United States, they are further

grown to maturity and for final sale.

The statistics in Floriculture Crops are collected from

annual surveys of all known growers of floriculture

crops in 36 selected States, based on sales data previously reported in the Census of Horticultural

Specialties. The survey by the National Agricultural

Statistics Service (NASS) covers wholesale and retail

sales by crop or product type and by State. Statistics

for each crop include the number of growers, 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 sales statistics.

Selected crop data in Hawaii are also reported.

Additional sales statistics are collected for various

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 are also obtained 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, also by NASS. All known growers in 17

selected States were included in the survey, based on

sales reported in the Census of Horticultural Specialties.

There are nine nursery plant groups in the survey—

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. The statistics collected from each State

include the number of producers, the number of units

sold in 2000, gross sales, the percent of sales that were

wholesale, and ending inventory. The number of operations with part-time and full-time hired workers were

also compiled by grower sales levels in each selected

State. Only commercial growers with $100,000 or more

in nursery sales in 2000 were asked to provide the

detailed sales statistics.

For U.S. nursery crop production, ERS and NASS estimate annual grower cash receipts of “other greenhouse/nursery” crops for all 50 States. These wholesale receipts include estimates of floriculture sales by

growers in the 14 smaller States that are excluded from

the annual Floriculture Crops survey by NASS. (The

14 States have no floriculture sales in table 6.) Most of

these States are sparsely populated or not conducive to

floriculture production, and local growers generally

have small operations whose collective sales are statistically insignificant.

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 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. 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.

Floriculture and nursery trade data are divided into

four groups, each classified by a 4-digit HS code: U.S.

harmonized tariff system codes 0601, 0602, 0603, and

0604. Each group is further reclassified into 6-digit

subgroups, then 10-digit-coded products. In FATUS,

import data are divided into “cut flowers” and “nursery

stock,” while exports are grouped in “nursery and

greenhouse products.” All import and export values

and quantities by HS codes 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.

Compilation of Sales and Trade Data
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.

Section V of the 2002 Census of Agriculture, due out

at the end of 2003, will summarize survey results of

growers of floriculture and nursery crops in all 50

States. To date, no survey pertaining to Nursery Crops

is scheduled separately by NASS.

The sequence of tables in this Yearbook is unchanged

from last year’s, although new tables were inserted and

other tables were expanded or otherwise enhanced. All

data are annual and represent calendar year estimates.

The floriculture and nursery crops surveys by NASS

include all growers with at least $10,000 in annual

green sales. Corresponding sales estimates for the other

14 nonsurveyed States are prepared annually by NASS.

A Situation and Outlook Report on floriculture crops

is also published by ERS in mid-September each year.

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 Outlook Report can be accessed,

downloaded, and printed from the ERS website

(ers.usda.gov). A hardcopy version of the Yearbook can

be mailed upon request. Contact the author.

p = Preliminary. Imports and exports are actual Census data.

 1/ Based on grower wholesale receipts from table 4.

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

 3/ Includes cut flowers, flowering, bedding, foliage, and herbaceous plants, cut greens, and propagative material.

 4/ Includes potted flowering plants, foliage plants, 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.
