Dear Friends of Agriculture,Agriculture is one of the strongest pillars of Florida’s economy, generating more than $120 billion in annual economic impact and supporting more than 2 million jobs.

The complexion of Florida’s agriculture industry continues to evolve in light of challenges facing our citrus industry with fresh market vegetables, fruits and livestock industries increasing their contributions to the state’s overall agricultural cash value.

2014 was a great year for many Fresh From Florida commodities. Bell peppers ($164 million), hay ($133 million), peanuts ($145 million), potatoes ($131 million) and honey ($31 million) all had higher production value than in 2013. Florida leads the United States in production value of fresh market snap beans, fresh market cucumbers, cucumbers for pickles, grapefruit, oranges, squash, sugarcane, fresh market tomatoes and watermelons.

This publication, produced by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, is a compilation of useful data and information that summarizes Florida’s agriculture impact to our state. Collectively, these figures demonstrate the extent that Florida agriculture feeds and enriches the lives of Floridians, people throughout the United States and around the world.

Find these figures and more in this 2014 edition of Florida Agriculture by the Numbers. Sincerely,

Adam H. PutnamCommissioner of Agriculture

ACKNOWLEDGMENTThe acreage, production, and value statistics in this publication are the official State and USDA estimates prepared by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Florida Field Office in cooperation with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. These estimates are current as of September 2015 and may be revised later in the year or in the following year if additional data becomes available. Any revisions made to these estimates, as well as estimates made after September 2015, are included in reports posted to the website shown below and available from the NASS Florida Field Office.

Most of the data used to develop these estimates were provided voluntarily by growers, shippers, and processors and the US Department of Agriculture sincerely appreciates their cooperation. The Florida Tomato Committee, the Florida Fruit and Vegetable Association, Florida Department of Citrus, floriculture and nursery producers, sales agencies, and transportation firms have provided valuable assistance and data throughout the season. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Bureau of State Farmers Markets and the County Agricultural Agents of the University of Florida Cooperative Extension Service were also very helpful in supplying area and county estimates.

The individuals and organizations who comprise the Florida agricultural industry need reliable and accurate estimates of production to make informed and knowledgeable decisions. Increasing unpredictability of commodity prices and competition from global markets make accurate and unbiased estimates even more important. Farmers, agribusinesses, producers groups, educators, researchers, legislators and the media all need these estimates to develop sound policies and to promote Florida agricultural products.

I want to express my sincere gratitude to our dedicated staff of statisticians, support personnel, citrus field staff, and field and telephone enumerators. They are the ones who have worked hard to collect, review, summarize this important data and publish the results.

All NASS reports are available free of charge at:www.nass.usda.gov (National reports)www.nass.usda.gov/fl (Florida reports)

FLORIDA AGRICULTURE BY THE NUMBERSFlorida Agriculture by the Numbers has been published to provide you with reliable, comprehensive information and data on Florida agriculture. People worldwide use the basics of food, fiber and forestry products daily. Florida’s producers contribute greatly to the bounty enjoyed in Florida, the United States and beyond. The following pages tell their story of productivity, innovation and delivery.

This reference book is divided by sections for ease of use. The Agricultural Overview Section provides a general overview of Florida agriculture. The Agricultural Statistics Section presents comparative performances of major commodity groups and benchmark economic data. The Groups Directory Section offers contact information for a variety of agricultural related entities. Both public and private organizations are listed. The Department Contacts Section identifies the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumers Services’ divisions with contact information.

As is occasionally the case when analyzing agricultural and economic data, numbers in rows or columns do not always sum exactly. This usually occurs when large numbers are abbreviated or when composite prices are compiled. The difference in these cases is a rounding margin. The rounding of numbers occurs in these pages when space is a consideration.

Whether you are using this book to learn more about Florida agriculture, as a reference for contact information or for any other use, Florida Agriculture by the Numbers will definitely serve as an excellent reference source throughout the year. Together, these sections provide a valuable insight to Florida agriculture and its impact on Florida’s economy.

We are pleased to present Florida Agriculture by the Numbers. If you need additional information or assistance, please call the Division of Marketing and Development at (850) 617-7300.

1 Value of agricultural sector production is the gross value of the commodities and services produced within a year. Net value-added is the sector’s contribution to the National economy and is the sum of the income from production earned by all factors-of-production, regardless of ownership. Net farm income is the farm operators’ share of income from the sector’s production activities. The concept presented is consistent with that employed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

Citrus Value of Sales On-Tree by Crop Year

Florida: 2004-2005 through 2013-2014

U.S. and Florida ProductionU.S. citrus utilized production for the 2013-2014 season totaled 9.4 million tons, down 15 percent from the 2012 2013 season. Florida accounted for 59 percent of total United States citrus production, while California totaled 37 percent, and Texas and Arizona combined produced the remaining 4 percent. Total utilized citrus production was down from the previous year in all citrus reporting states except Arizona, which was unchanged.

Florida’s share of U.S. citrus production was 124 million boxes in the 2013 2014 season, down 21 percent from the previous season’s 156.2 million boxes. Production decreased for all citrus varieties when compared to last season.

Florida’s all orange production decreased by 22 percent to 104.6 million boxes. All grapefruit production is down 15 percent to 15.7 million boxes. Production of Honey tangerines is down 16 percent and early tangerine production is down 8 percent, resulting in a 12 percent decrease in all tangerines. Tangelo production is down 12 percent.

Production by Area and CountyEach production area and county showed a decrease in citrus production compared to 2012-2013. The top 5 citrus producing counties were Polk (19.9 million boxes), Hendry (16.3 million boxes), Highlands (14.9 million boxes), DeSoto (13.7 million boxes), and Hardee (10.5 million boxes). Polk County had the largest loss in production (4.7 million boxes). By percentage, Sarasota County had the greatest decrease, with 46 percent fewer boxes produced. By production area, the Western area showed the greatest loss in both actual production (10.1 million boxes) and percentage (25 percent fewer boxes), while the Indian River changed the least, with a decrease of 1.1 million boxes.

Estimates of county production are prepared from objective survey data used in forecasting citrus crop production. The apportionment of final harvest to the counties is based on bearing trees, an estimate of the average fruit per tree, and the drop and size surveys. Sample size used in these surveys and the distribution of the sample groves around the State are chosen to minimize error in the estimates of production and are not to be considered as accurate for the counties as at the State or area levels.

ValueThe value of the 2013-2014 United States citrus crop was up 7 percent from last season, at $3.39 billion (packinghouse-door equivalent). Orange value of production decreased 5 percent from last season while grapefruit value is down 10 percent. Tangerine and mandarin value of production is 27 percent higher than last season and lemon value of production is up 62 percent. Tangelo value decreased 24 percent from the previous season.

Florida’s $946 million preliminary on-tree value of the 2013-2014 citrus crop is 19 percent less than the revised value of $1.16 billion for 2012 2013. The price per box is higher for oranges, white grapefruit, and tangerines, but lower for colored grapefruit and tangelos. Only the tangerines have a higher value this season.

Foreign ExportsFresh fruit exports totaled 7.8 million 4/5 bushel cartons. Japan accounted for the majority of Florida grapefruit exports. Canada received most of Florida’s orange and specialty fresh fruit exports. A total of 12.3 million gallons of Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice (FCOJ), and 2.9 million gallons of Frozen Concentrated Grapefruit Juice (FCGJ) were exported in the 2013-2014 season.

Frozen ConcentrateFinal Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice (FCOJ) yield, as reported by the Florida Department of Citrus, was 1.569080 gallons per box of 42° Brix concentrate. A record FCOJ yield of 1.673141 gallons per box was set in the 2007-2008 season. The early-midseason portion of the crop finalized at 1.521318 gallons per box. The late crop yielded 1.642463 gallons per box.

The final Frozen Concentrated Grapefruit Juice (FCGJ) yield was 1.213862 gallons per box of 40° Brix concentrate, down slightly from last season’s final of 1.218634 gallons per box. A record FCGJ yield of 1.364660 gallons was set in 2006-2007.

The final Frozen Concentrated Tangerine Juice (FCTJ) yield of 1.383379 gallons per box of 42° Brix concentrate was lower than last season’s final of 1.469707 gallons per box. A record FCTJ yield of 1.757423 gallons was set in the 1992-1993 season.

Tree InventoryResults of the annual Commercial Citrus Inventory show total citrus acreage is 515,147, down 2 percent from the last survey and the lowest in a series which began in 1966. Compared to the previous inventory, new plantings increased but the higher gross loss resulted in a net decrease of 9,493 acres.

Of the 29 counties included in the survey, 22 recorded decreases in acreage, 6 showed increases, and 1 was unchanged. St. Lucie County, down 3,869 acres, has suffered the greatest loss this year, while Martin County lost the highest percentage with a 27 percent reduction. Desoto County has recorded gains in the last 7 surveys and this year’s gain of 917 acres is the most of any county. Polk County remains the leader with 81,810 acres.

Orange acreage declined for the tenth consecutive survey to 452,364, replacing the record low of 459,311 acres tallied last year. Grapefruit acreage fell to a new low of 45,922. Specialty acreage continued to decline to a record low of 16,861 and represents only 3.3 percent of the total citrus acreage.

Total citrus trees have declined steadily from the peak in 1998 to 68.1 million. Polk County continues to lead with 10 million trees, followed by Hendry County with 9.5 million, DeSoto County with 8.9 million, and Highlands County with 7.9 million trees. The total is composed of oranges, 89 percent; grapefruit, almost 8 percent; and the remainder, including specialty and other citrus, at nearly 4 percent. Bearing trees decreased about 2 percent to 62.9 million while non-bearing trees increased over 15 percent to nearly 5.2 million since the previous survey.

In Florida, most early season varieties of avocados are West Indian types, whereas midseason and late varieties are mostly Guatemalan-West Indian hybrids or Guatemalan types. Commercial production is primarily in Miami-Dade and Collier counties. Florida avocados have a lower fat content than those from other states and countries, are typically larger than avocados from California, and are available from June through the end of February.

2014 FIELD CROPS HIGHLIGHTSValueThe 2014 total value of production for corn, cotton, cottonseed, hay, peanuts, pecans, soybeans and wheat totaled $385 million, an increase of 1% from the previous year’s total of $380 million. The total value of corn production decreased 59 percent and was valued at $19.4 million. The value of soybean production ($14.2 million) decreased 2 percent. Peanut value of production ($145 million) increased 16 percent, and hay ($133 million) increased by 21 percent.

Acreage and ProductionAcreage harvested in 2014 for corn, cotton, hay, peanuts, soybeans and wheat totaled 679 thousand acres, down 1 percent from the 685 thousand acres harvested in 2013. Harvested acreage for soybeans (37,000), peanuts (167,000) and hay (320,000) increased. Decreased acreage was estimated for wheat (10,000), corn (40,000), and cotton (105,000). Production increased for cotton (14%), hay (26%), soybeans (29%), peanuts (29%), and cottonseed (58%). Production declined for corn (-48%), and wheat (-65%).

SugarcaneFlorida producers harvested 412 thousand acres of sugarcane for sugar and seed in 2014, down 1 percent from 2013. Production was up 10 percent in 2014 from 2013. The value of production for the 2013 crop was $505 million, down 25 percent from the 2012 total of $677 million.

Crop WeatherIn January 2014, Florida had extremely low temperatures in the Panhandle and north Florida. Hard freezes occurred in central Florida, with low temperatures ranging from 14 to 24 degrees. Limited rain was received across the State throughout the month. Farmers in the northern part of the State were completing the harvest of soybeans. Planting of oats, wheat, rye, and winter grazing was ongoing. Rain was beneficial to earlier plantings. Sugarcane harvest proceeded as scheduled in Hendry, Palm Beach, and Glades counties.

In February, the month started with icy, wet weather which hampered field work and crop growth in the Panhandle. Sugarcane harvest was also delayed in Hendry, Palm Beach, and Glades counties due to rain. By month’s end farmers in Washington and Gadsden counties were preparing ground for peanut and corn planting.

In March, the Panhandle and north Florida had low temperatures in the 30s. South Florida high temperatures ranged from 78 degrees to 90 degrees. By the end of the month, field corn planting had started in the Panhandle. Most fields in the Panhandle were too wet to work. Levy County farmers started planting peanuts while Dixie County farmers prepared fields for peanuts.

In April, most soil in the Panhandle was completely saturated, bringing field work to a standstill. Defuniak Springs (Walton County) received the most rain during the month at 11.25 inches. North Florida farmers continued planting corn and peanuts. As the month progressed, various portions of the Panhandle were able to begin planting corn, peanuts, and cotton.

In May, Governor Rick Scott declared a state of emergency in the following counties due to excessive rain; Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, Holmes, Washington, Bay, Jackson, Calhoun, Gulf, Liberty, Franklin, Gadsden, Leon, Wakulla, Jefferson, Madison, Taylor, Hamilton, Suwannee, Lafayette, Dixie, Columbia, Gilchrist, Levy, and Alachua. Farmers in the Panhandle and north Florida were behind schedule on planting field crops due to the excessive rain. But by the month’s end, peanut planting was 72 percent complete, ahead of last year’s and the 5-year average of 68 percent.

In June, farmers experienced rain delays in harvesting winter wheat and oats early in the month. By mid-month, planting of peanuts was completed. Peanuts were in good condition and 39 percent pegged by the end of the month.

In July, Florida was drought free almost all month. By the second week of the month, Army worms were causing damage in forages, soybeans, and peanuts. Wet weather hindered haying throughout the State. Peanut pegging was at 89 percent, ahead of the previous year and the 5-year average. Rice harvesting began in Palm Beach County. Temperatures ranged from the low 50s to highs in the upper 90s.

In August, Florida experienced scattered showers and high temperatures. Army worms continued to cause damage to pastures, soybeans, and peanuts. Peanut pegging was completed by the end of the month. Sugarcane had grown to 8-10 feet tall. Extreme heat index warnings at the end of the month made for unsuitable working conditions across the State.

In September, hay, corn, and peanut harvest began in the Panhandle, north, and central Florida. Army worms were still a problem in parts of the Panhandle as were white mold on peanuts. By the end of the month, some areas saw peanut quality declining due to weather, disease, and pests. Sugarcane planting was underway in Glades and Hendry counties.

In October, frequent rain at the beginning of the month made field work difficult. Peanut harvesting was at 31 percent, below the 5-year average. Cotton was harvested in the Panhandle and hay continued to be harvested. Farmers in the Panhandle were planting rye grass, oats, and winter grazing. By the end of the month, peanut harvest was at 83 percent complete, slightly above the 5-year average.

In November, temperatures ranged from night time lows in the 20s to daytime highs in the upper 80s. The month started out dry but the end of the month had some areas receiving between three and seven inches of rain. Peanut harvest was completed in November, cotton and soybean harvest was near completion.

In December, the month started out very dry but wrapped up very wet in the northern part of the State. Quincy (Gadsden County) reported 9.43 inches of rain the last week of the month. Sugarcane harvesting continued through the entire month. By month’s end, winter wheat and rye for grazing was rated in excellent growing condition.

2014 SEASON VEGETABLE HIGHLIGHTS

Beginning in 2012 year, NASS began estimating vegetable production on a calendar year basis. Data included in this publication reflects vegetable acreage, yield, production, and value for January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014.

ValueThe 2014 value of production for the published major berries, Irish potatoes, vegetable crops, and watermelons totaled $1.55 billion, down 13 percent from the 2013 value of $1.78 billion. The ranking from the highest to lowest value of the berry, Irish potato, vegetables, and watermelon crops are: (1) tomatoes, (2) strawberries, (3) bell peppers, (4) potatoes, (5) sweet corn, (6) watermelons, (7) snap beans, (8) cucumbers, (9) blueberries, (10) cabbage, and (11) squash. The crops that increased in percentage and value were (+16%) bell peppers and (+9%) potatoes. Crops that decreased in value and percentage included (-4%) tomatoes, (-8%) strawberries, (-15%) cucumbers, (-15%) sweet corn, (-17%) blueberries, (-20%) cabbage, (-42%) squash, (-44%) snap beans, and (-49%) watermelon.

AcreageThe harvested acreage for 2014 for the published major berries, potatoes, vegetable crops, and watermelons totaled 200,600 acres, down 5 percent from the 211,900 acres harvested the previous year. Crops with increased acreage and percentages included (6%) cabbage, and (3%) strawberries. Crops with less acreage and percentage decreased included (-1%) potatoes, (-2%) watermelons, (-3%) tomatoes, (-3%) bell peppers, (-8%) snap beans, (-12%) cucumbers, (-13%) squash, and (-14%) sweet corn. Blueberries and sweet potatoes remained the same.

ProductionProduction in 2014 of the published major berries, potatoes, vegetable crops, and watermelons totaled 39.8 million hundredweight, down 6 percent from the 42.2 million hundredweight the prior calendar year. Crops with increased percentage and production were (41%) sweet potatoes, (9%) cabbage, (3%) tomatoes, and (2%) cucumbers. Bell peppers were up slightly. Commodities with percentage decreases and less production were (-1%) potatoes, (-11%) strawberries, (-17%) sweet corn, (-18%) squash, (-18%) blueberries, (-23%) snap beans and (-23%) watermelon.

Weather for the 2014 growing seasonIn January 2014, frost damage, fungal diseases, and crop losses were evident on strawberries, collards, and turnips in north Florida. Cabbage and potatoes were planted in Flagler, St. Johns, Bradford, and Putnam counties; sweet corn, squash, beans, and peppers in Miami-Dade County; and tomatoes in Manatee County. Cold winds in southwest Florida required replanting of okra, sweet potatoes, green beans, and strawberries. By the end of the month, harvesting of cabbage began in Okeechobee County and harvesting of winter vegetables progressed in Miami-Dade County.

In February, varying degrees of losses on vegetables and strawberries were reported throughout the State due to freezing temperatures. Planting of potatoes was behind schedule due to wet conditions. Cabbage and strawberry harvesting began early in the month. Soil preparation for watermelons was underway in Suwannee County. Rain and foggy weather increased disease in vegetables in southwest Florida with late blight reported on tomatoes and potatoes. Miami-Dade County farmers harvested green beans, tomatoes, squash, peppers, eggplant, sweet corn, Chinese vegetables, and boniato (Cuban sweet potatoes) during the month.

In March, Dixie, Levy, and Suwannee county farmers started planting watermelons and by the end of the month planting was complete. Flagler and Putnam county farmers finished planting potatoes during the month, harvesting of cabbage continued all month long. Southwest and south Florida farmers were busy all month harvesting green beans, cucumbers, collards, eggplant, herbs, kale, peppers, squash, and tomatoes.

In April, field work came to a standstill due to excessive rain. Gulf County farmers had to replant some vegetables and watermelons due to saturated fields. Bradford County farmers picked strawberries. Blueberry and watermelon harvesting was underway in Charlotte, Glades, and Hendry counties. Late in April, potato harvesting began in Flagler, Putnam, and St. Johns counties. In May, Flagler and Putnam county farmers harvested potatoes, cabbage, and leafy greens. Strawberry harvest was completed in Bradford County and blueberry growers in Charlotte and Glades counties were moving to u-pick harvest mode as their season finished. By the end of the month farmers in the Panhandle, north, and central Florida were harvesting watermelons, green beans, sweet corn, and potatoes. Vegetable producers in southwest Florida cleaned up fields as the season neared an end.

In June, central and south Florida received large amounts of rain during the month. Flooded fields delayed planting early in the month. Rice planting was almost complete. Farmers harvested potatoes, cantaloupe, tomatoes, sweet corn, and watermelon by the end of the month.

In July, rainfall varied greatly across the State. Watermelon harvest in the Panhandle and north Florida was completed in July. Farmers in Gadsden County started planting their fall tomato crop. In Bradford County peppers and lettuce were planted under cover. In south Florida, Hendry County farmers began land preparation for fall planting.

In August, southwest Florida started the month with scattered showers most days. By the end of the month they experienced a very hot, mostly dry week which enabled them to start planting melons, tomatoes, peppers, and squash, and to continue land preparation for fall planting. Polk County farmers prepared fields for strawberry planting. Harvesting of okra, squash, black-eyed peas, pink-eye peas, and purple hull peas started in Bradford County.

In September, southwest Florida received significant rainfall, which disrupted agricultural activities. Vegetable growers ran pumps to maintain favorable water levels in fields. Flagler and Putnam county growers began planting leafy greens; Bradford County growers began planting winter vegetables and strawberries; Palm Beach County farmers planted sweet corn, snap beans and lettuce; and Miami-Dade County producers planted green beans, squash, peppers, tomato, bitter melon, boniato, and malanga. Tomato harvest was in full swing in Gadsden County.

In October, wet weather had vegetable growers battling disease in some locations throughout the State. Bradford, Flagler, and Putnam county farmers were planting cabbage. Strawberries in Manatee County were established and harvesting of tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers continued. Vegetable harvest began across southwest Florida with light quantities of eggplant, herbs, and squash going to market.

In November, farms across the State ran irrigation on their vegetables due to the lack of rain. Tomato harvest in Gadsden County was completed due to low temperatures. Cabbage and collards were planted in Flagler and Putnam counties. Growers in southwest Florida harvested green beans, cucumbers, eggplant, herbs, peppers, squash, tomatoes, and watermelon during the entire month.

In December, farmers in Flagler and Putnam counties began planting cabbage and cold weather vegetable crops. Some u-pick strawberry fields opened in Orange County. Cool weather reduced yields on cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, and squash in southwest Florida. Spring season vegetable crop planting began in southwest Florida.

DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONSPlanted Acreage is the total acreage which has been planted for harvest during the crop year. Acreage lost and replanted to the same crop in time for harvest in the same quarter is counted only once. Acreage harvested and planted again to the same crop is counted twice.

Harvested Acreage is the acreage partially or completely harvested. Acreage lost before or at maturity through natural or economic causes is not included in the acreage for harvest.

Yield is the average production per harvested acre of merchantable quality harvested and sold or utilized for human consumption.

Production is the quantity actually harvested and sold or utilized for human consumption.

Unit Value for fresh market sales is the equivalent price received, f.o.b. shipping point basis and encompasses all grades and sizes marketed or utilized. Included are packing charges, selling charges, precooling, top ice, or other costs which contribute to the value of the product at shipping point. The value per unit for quantities sold to processors is the average value paid for usable quantities, on a "delivered to plant door" basis. This value includes transportation and other normal costs incident to delivery at plant door.

Total Value is the equivalent value of production sold or utilized based on the unit value. Cullage and other quantities not sold or utilized because of natural or economic factors are excluded.

Other Counties include harvested acreage for all counties for which either published data would result in the disclosure of individual operations or acreage totals for specific commodities of minor importance in the State.

Production And Price Unit - The official USDA vegetable crop estimates are published on a weight basis. For this bulletin, the official estimates for most vegetable crops have been converted to hundredweight. If changes in container weights are necessary, all data pertaining to the production of the commodity in question are revised to maintain comparability between years. The table on the next page gives the net weight used per container and the number of containers per hundredweight for Florida produce.

CONFIDENTIALITY OF COLLECTED DATAAll information collected from individual agricultural producers is held strictly confidential. Data provided by individual producers or other agricultural firms is used only to compile and publish statistics at the county, state, and national levels. Statistics at the county and state level are not published if they will potentially disclose information about an individual or operation. In addition, all names and addresses obtained by this office are held confidential.

There were 686 operations that reported being in business during 2012; of those, 404 operations reported appreciable sales. The operations without sales reflect either new operations, which have not yet sold a product,

AQUACULTURE

or operations in business that did not market any product in 2012.

Florida aquaculturists produced animals or plants for ornamental, food or miscellaneous markets. Ornamental sales totaled $35.5 million and consisted of freshwater or marine animals and plants that included freshwater fish, crayfish or marine fish, corals, live rock, snails, and shrimp sold to the aquarium or water garden markets. Sales of aquaculture products for human consumption totaled $24.1 million and included freshwater or marine fish, clams, oysters, shrimp, prawns, alligators, and turtles.

FLORIDA FORESTRY ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS

Economic OutputOf Florida’s 17.3 million acres of forest land, 15.4 million acres of timberlands supported economic activities. These economic activities generated $16.34 billion in total output impacts in 2013. This was 1.6% less than 2012 output impacts, but still 18% more than in 2008 at the lowest point in the recent economic recession (Fig. 1).

Employment2013 employment impacts were 80,665 full and part-time jobs, which was 3,600 fewer jobs than in 2012. The 2013 employment in forestry and forest products industry represented a 25% increase over 2008 employment at the lowest point of the Great Recession.

Value AddedAt $7.06 billion, value added impacts were 9% lower in 2013 than 2012 (Fig. 1), but still 49% higher than in 2008 at the lowest point of the recent recession.

CompensationIn 2013, the pulp and paper products industry supported 73% of income paid to the labor force employed in forestry and related industries. At 12%, secondary wood products sector was the next largest in terms of income paid out to workers. Forest management and logging generated 11% of income paid, while lumber, veneer and panels manufacturing paid the remaining 4% of wages and benefits in forestry-related occupations in 2013 (Fig. 2). In dollar terms, forestry, wood and paper products industries had an income impact of $4.15 billion in 2013, which was 8% less than in 2012, but still nearly 31% more than in 2008 at the bottom of the recent recession.

Fiscal ImpactsIn 2013, tax impacts on production and imports of forestry and forest products industries in Florida were $483 million. Of that amount, $382 million was generated by pulp and paper sector, $45 million by forest tract management and logging activities, $41 million by secondary products manufacturing and $15 million by the lumber, veneer and panel manufacturing industries.

Total other property income impacts, such as interests, rents, royalties and dividends, were $2.43 billion in 2013. The largest share again was generated by pulp and paper manufacturing at $1.74 billion. Forest tract management and logging activities generated $269 million, the secondary forest products sector $264 million and lumber/veneer/panels manufacturing generated $156 million.

Figure 3. Export value of Florida’s forest products to out-of-state destinations between 2003 and 2013.

Forest OwnershipIn 2014, Florida timberland ownership, which supports the forest products industry was 71% private (67% non-industrial, and 4% forest industry), 18% state and local, and 11% federal government (Fig. 4). That translates into 11.0 million acres in private ownerships, 2.8 million acres in state and local, and 1.7 million acres in federal government ownerships.

Export ValueAt $6.14 billion in 2013, the export value of Florida’s forest products to out-of-state destinations increased 4% since 2012 (Fig. 3). The export value for 2013 was 56% higher than exports in 2008 at the lowest point in the recession of 2007-09.

Forest DistributionAlthough forests cover about 50% of the state’s land area, Florida’s forest lands are located mostly north of Orlando (Fig. 5). In the northern half of the State most counties are at least 50% forested, whereas peninsular Florida south of Marion County is less than 50% forested. Liberty County in northwest Florida is the most forested with forest lands covering more than 90% of its area. On the other hand, four counties in the southeast tip of Florida have less than 10% of their area covered in forests (Fig. 5).

Local ImportanceIn 2014, there were 73 primary wood using mills in Florida (Table 1). The local economic importance of forests depends on a number of factors including proximity to markets. Primary wood using mills in Florida are located mostly in the northern part of the state (Fig. 6) in proximity

Figure 5. Florida forest lands as percentage of county surface area2014

to timberland resources. Mill type and size influence raw material needs from a 50-75 mile radius from the mill location. This close supply of wood allows for the most economical wood purchases and providing income to local timberland owners.
