Analysis
NAICS 11141 is the 2022 NAICS industry for food crops grown under cover, part of 1114 (Greenhouse, Nursery, and Floriculture Production). Census lists 25 example activities under it in the official index.
Across its national industries Census lists 25 index entries; typical ones are mushroom farming and alfalfa sprout farming, grown under cover.
Its goods appear in 18 statistical lines of the US tariff schedule, mostly under headings 0702 (), 0709 (other vegetables, fresh or chilled) and 0602 (other live plants (including their roots), cuttings and…). That link is how import data is matched to domestic producers, for example in trade-remedy cases.
For example, growing vegetable and melon bedding plants are classified in 11121 (Vegetable and Melon Farming) instead.
Census lists 1 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 11121. 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.

This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in growing food crops (e.g., fruits, melons, tomatoes) under glass or protective cover.
