Analysis
NAICS 1114 is the 2022 industry group for greenhouse, nursery, and floriculture production, part of 111 (Crop Production). Census lists 57 example activities under it in the official index.
Across its national industries Census lists 57 index entries; typical ones are mushroom farming, alfalfa sprout farming, grown under cover, azalea farming and bedding plant growing (except vegetable and melon bedding….
Its goods appear in 65 statistical lines of the US tariff schedule, mostly under headings 0602 (other live plants (including their roots), cuttings and…), 0603 (cut flowers and flower buds of a kind suitable for bouquets…) and 0601 (bulbs, tubers, tuberous roots, corms, crowns and rhizomes…). That link is how import data is matched to domestic producers, for example in trade-remedy cases.
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.
Official definition
This industry group comprises establishments primarily engaged in growing crops of any kind under cover and/or growing nursery stock and flowers. "Under cover" is generally defined as greenhouses, cold frames, cloth houses, and lath houses. The crops grown are removed at various stages of maturity and have annual and perennial life cycles. The nursery stock includes short rotation woody crops that have growth cycles of 10 years or less.
