Analysis
NAICS 111331 is the 2022 national industry for apple orchards, part of 11133 (Noncitrus Fruit and Tree Nut Farming). Census lists 1 example activities under it in the official index.
Its goods appear in 3 statistical lines of the US tariff schedule, mostly under headings 0808 (apples, pears and quinces, fresh). That link is how import data is matched to domestic producers, for example in trade-remedy cases.
For example, growing apples and manufacturing alcoholic ciders are classified in 312130 (Wineries) instead.
Census lists 2 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 312130 and 111336. Businesses that do several things are classified by their primary activity, the one that generates the most value, so check those boundaries before settling on this code.
County Business Patterns does not cover crop and animal production, so there is no establishment count for it; farms are counted by the Census of Agriculture instead.
