Farm and Farm-Related Employment: NAICS Industry Groups and Components

Farm and farm-related industries are identified as industries having generally 50 percent or more of their national work force employed in providing goods and services necessary to satisfy the final demand for agricultural products. An exception to this criterion is indirect agribusinesses, in which percentages range between 32 and 50 percent. Industries are aggregated into related groups: farm production; agricultural services, forestry, and fishing; agricultural input industries; agricultural processing and marketing industries; wholesale and retail trade of agricultural products; and indirect agribusiness.
